Mitek Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: MITK, www.miteksystems.com, “Mitek” or the “Company”), a global leader in digital identity and digital fraud prevention, today reported that on April 1, 2024, the Company received a decision from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) granting the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 (“Q1 Form 10-Q”), on or before April 15, 2024, which will bring the Company into compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), and certain other conditions.
As previously disclosed, the Company received a delisting determination (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Staff initiated a process to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq as a result of the Company not being in compliance with the Listing Rule, which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), due to the Company’s failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”). The Company subsequently did not timely file the Q1 Form 10-Q because the Q1 Form 10-Q could not be prepared until the Form 10-K was filed.
The Company attended the previously announced and scheduled March 19, 2024 hearing before the Panel and requested the continued listing of its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending its return to compliance with the Listing Rule.
The Company filed its Form 10-K on March 19, 2024, and intends to file the Q1 Form 10-Q as promptly as possible in order to regain compliance with the Listing Rule.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet this deadline or ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing.
