Key Terms

minimum bid price requirement, reverse share split, closing bid price
3 terms
minimum bid price requirement regulatory
"to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement"
A minimum bid price requirement is a rule that a stock must trade above a set price for a specified period to stay listed on an exchange. It matters to investors because falling below that threshold can trigger warnings or removal from the exchange, which can cut liquidity, reduce visibility, and often lead to sharper declines in share value—think of it like a venue’s minimum dress code that, if not met, can bar a performer from the stage.
reverse share split financial
"including, if necessary, by effecting a reverse share split"
A reverse share split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding by combining multiple shares into one, effectively increasing the price of each share. For investors, this can help improve the company's image or meet stock exchange listing requirements, but it does not change the total value of their investment. It’s similar to turning many small pieces of a puzzle into fewer larger pieces—nothing new is added or lost, just rearranged.
closing bid price financial
"the closing bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00"
The closing bid price is the last price that a buyer was willing to pay for a security at the end of the trading day. It reflects the final visible demand for the stock — like the last offer someone makes for a used car before a yard closes — and helps investors gauge market interest, set valuations, and mark portfolios to market for that day.

Company's common stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market without interruption

New York, NY, Sept. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Compute Corp. ("Alpha Compute" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ALP), a provider of high-density AI compute infrastructure and enterprise GPU services, today announced that on August 31, 2026 it received formal notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") granting the Company an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, until March 1, 2027, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. The Company was previously notified on March 2, 2026 that the closing bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.

In granting the second compliance period, Nasdaq determined that the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares, as well as all other applicable initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement. The Company also provided written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including, if necessary, by effecting a reverse share split.

To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the additional 180-day period. Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require the Company to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that compliance has been achieved.

The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock, which continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol ALP.

"This extension gives us the runway to execute against a plan we were already running," said Brittany Kaiser, CEO of Alpha Compute. "Our focus is unchanged: driving multi-year enterprise revenue and improving the operating margin of every cluster we bring online. We believe the fundamentals of the business and not the current trading price are what ultimately close this gap, and we intend to use every tool available to us, including a reverse share split if required, to protect our listing and our shareholders."
