KVH Industries, Inc. Receives Expected Deficiency Notice from Nasdaq Related to Delayed Filing of Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

MIDDLETOWN, R.I., Nov. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As previously disclosed in the Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed by KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) (“KVH”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 10, 2022, KVH was unable to compile in a timely manner the information required to prepare its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ending September 30, 2022 (the “Form 10-Q”) without unreasonable effort or expense. KVH did not file the Form 10-Q by November 14, 2022, the extended due date permitted by Rule 12b-25. KVH is continuing its efforts to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.

On November 15, 2022, KVH received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of not having timely filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC, KVH is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), which requires timely filing of all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.

The Notice indicated that, under Nasdaq Listing Rules, KVH has 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. If Nasdaq accepts KVH’s plan, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the filing date for the Form 10-Q to regain compliance. KVH currently plans to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable or, in the event of delay, to timely submit a plan to regain compliance.

There is no assurance that KVH will file the Form 10-Q by any particular date or that Nasdaq will accept any such plan that KVH may submit.
