PHOENIX ’ May 16, 2024’ - Edgio, Inc. (Nasdaq: EGIO) (the Company) announced today that it has received an expected notice (the Notice) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) regarding non-compliance with the continued listing requirements. The notification specifies that the Company is in breach of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the Listing Rule) because it has not yet submitted its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ending March 31, 2024 (the Quarterly Report) to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The Nature of the Notice
Per Nasdaq’s listing rules, timely filing of periodic financial reports is crucial for maintaining listing status. The Company has been afforded a 60-day period from the date of the Notice to submit a plan outlining actions to regain compliance. Should Nasdaq accept the plan, Edgio, Inc. could be granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Quarterly Report to regain compliance and continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
Reasons Behind the Delay
The Company acknowledges the delay in filing the Quarterly Report and is actively working with its auditors and accounting team to address the underlying issues.
