Desktop Metal, Inc. (NYSE: DM) (“Desktop Metal”) today announced that it received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on November 22, 2023, indicating that Desktop Metal is not in compliance with NYSE’s continued listing standards because the average closing price of Desktop Metal’s common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of Desktop Metal’s common stock from the NYSE.
Under NYSE rules, Desktop Metal has a period of six months from receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the NYSE minimum stock price listing requirement. Desktop Metal has notified the NYSE of its intent to cure the stock price deficiency and return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards. Desktop Metal intends to consider available alternatives, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to stockholder approval no later than at Desktop Metal’s next annual meeting of stockholders, if necessary, to cure the stock price non-compliance. Under the NYSE’s rules, if Desktop Metal determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action that will require stockholder approval at its next annual meeting of stockholders, the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 trading days.
Desktop Metal’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE during this cure period, subject to Desktop Metal’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
