SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adamas One Corp. (Nasdaq: JEWL) (“Adamas One,” “Adamas” or the “Company”), The Original Lab-Grown Diamond Company™, a high-tech company that leverages proprietary technology to produce high-quality, single-crystal, Lab-Grown Diamonds for jewelry and diamond materials for industrial uses, today reports that, on February 16, 2024, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Nasdaq Listing Rule”) as a result of not having timely filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023 (the “2023 Annual Report”) and not having timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2023 (“Q1 2024 Quarterly Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule, the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.
Pursuant to the notification, the Company has until March 19, 2024 to file both the 2023 Annual Report and the Q1 2024 Quarterly Report, or to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule for these delinquent reports. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 days from the original due date of the 2023 Annual Report, or until July 16, 2024 to regain compliance. 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 and expects to file its 2023 Annual Report shortly and to file its Q1 2024 Quarterly Report within approximately three weeks after the filing of the 2023 Annual Report, which would eliminate the need for the Company to submit a formal plan to regain compliance.
