Up-list to Nasdaq in March or Feb?When will Nextech be up-listed? Companies that got up-listed to Nasdaq very recently might provide a clue:
- KemPharm up-listed on Jan 8th; Public offering closed on Jan 12th

https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/74679/AmpliTech-Announces-Pricing-of-9.6-Million-Public-Offering-Uplisting-to-Nasdaq-and-Reverse-Stock-Split In ALL these cases, approval from Nasdaq occurred very soon after a public announcement regarding a public offering and advising the SEC of the offering via Form S-1, but BEFORE the public offering closed.
Both GT Bio and Crown state “In connection with the offering, Company has been approved for listing its common stock on the Nasdaq…” In-fact the trigger for Nasdaq approval seems to be the submission of Form S-1.
Many of the above companies had to do a reverse split as their share price did not meet the minimum price for up-listing. Nextech did not have to do this.
There seems to be no requirement for submission of a future Financial Report for Nasdaq approval. All the above companies were up-listed in January and early February. It is unlikely that they would have their Q4 financial reports ready to submit prior to up-list.
Lastly the link below provides more insight into the up-listing process:
https://financialpost.com/globe-newswire/pyrogenesis-provides-update-on-its-listing-application-with-nasdaq It states “ Upon final NASDAQ approval, the Board of Directors of PyroGenesis will choose a listing date that will be most beneficial to the Company while taking into consideration other events that are taking place.”
What this might mean is that while Nasdaq approval could come as early as next week, the company can choose to delay the up-list to say, mid-March if it is beneficial to the company.
