HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) today announced the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market has accepted the company's plan to regain compliance with Rule 5250(c)(1).
As previously announced, RCI received letters from Nasdaq notifying the company of its noncompliance with the rule because RCI had not filed its Form 10-Qs for the second quarter ended March 31, 2019 and the third quarter ended June 30, 2019. In response, the company submitted and updated a compliance plan to Nasdaq. Nasdaq's acceptance of the plan gives RCI an extension of 180 calendar days from the second quarter 10-Q due date, or by November 6, 2019, to regain compliance.
RCI intends to file its 10-Qs and regain compliance as soon as practicable prior to that date now that it has had a new independent registered public accounting firm in place since August 12, 2019. The company's common stock continues to trade under its symbol RICK on Nasdaq.
