MIAMI, Aug. 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- LuxUrban Hotels Inc. (NASDAQ: LUXH) today announced it has received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on August 20, 2024 indicating that the Company is not currently in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules (“the Listing Rules”) due to the Company’s not timely filing its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Notice does not immediately affect the listing or trading of the Company’s securities. According to Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), the Company was required to file Form 10-Q by August 14, 2024 (the “Due Date”). The Company previously reported its inability to file Form 10-Q by the Due Date on a Form 12b-25 that the Company filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024.
Nasdaq has informed the Company that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from receipt of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Due Date, or February 18, 2025, to regain compliance. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance or that the Company will be able to regain compliance within any extension period granted by Nasdaq or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-Q and anticipates filing the Form 10-Q as soon as possible.
LuxUrban Hotels Inc.
LuxUrban Hotels Inc. secures long-term operating rights for entire hotels through Master Lease Agreements (MLA) and rents out, on a short-term basis, hotel rooms to business and vacation travelers. The Company is strategically building a portfolio of hotel properties in destination cities by capitalizing on the dislocation in commercial real estate markets and the large amount of debt maturity obligations on those assets coming due with a lack of available options for owners of those assets. LuxUrban’s MLA allows owners to hold onto their assets and retain their equity value while LuxUrban operates and owns the cash flows of the operating business for the life of the MLA.
