Moolec Science SA Receives Notice of Non-Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
On March 11, 2025, Moolec Science SA, a Luxembourg-based public limited liability company, received a Determination Letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The letter notified the Company that due to its securities remaining below the $1.00 per share threshold for an extended period, Moolec has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
Background on Nasdaq Listing Rules
Nasdaq Listing Rules establish the minimum requirements for companies to maintain their listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Rule 5550(a)(2) requires that a listed company’s securities maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing. This rule is designed to protect investors by ensuring that the securities of listed companies maintain a certain level of value.
Consequences for Moolec Science SA
The Determination Letter issued to Moolec signals the beginning of a delisting process. The Company now has 180 calendar days, or until September 9, 2025, to regain compliance with the $1.00 per share threshold. Failure to do so may result in the delisting of Moolec’s securities from Nasdaq.
Impact on Moolec’s Shareholders
The non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules may negatively impact Moolec’s shareholders in several ways. The potential delisting could lead to increased volatility in the Company’s stock price, making it more difficult for investors to buy and sell shares. Furthermore, the delisting could decrease the liquidity of Moolec’s securities, potentially limiting the ability of shareholders to exit their positions.
Global Implications
The delisting of Moolec’s securities from Nasdaq could have broader implications for the global financial markets. The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, as a significant European financial hub, is home to numerous international companies with listings on various stock exchanges. A delisting from a major exchange like Nasdaq could potentially impact investor confidence in Luxembourg-based companies and the Luxembourg financial sector as a whole.
Conclusion
Moolec Science SA’s receipt of the Determination Letter from Nasdaq marks a critical moment for the Company and its shareholders. Failure to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules could lead to a delisting of Moolec’s securities, with potential consequences for both the Company and its investors. Furthermore, the delisting could have broader implications for the global financial markets, particularly in Luxembourg, where many international companies maintain listings.
