Insights
Nasdaq delisting indicates serious compliance failures, restricting stock liquidity while delayed financial filings raise significant governance concerns.
ConnectM's unexpected delisting from Nasdaq represents a significant regulatory setback with immediate consequences for shareholders. The migration to the OTC Pink Market substantially reduces trading liquidity, market visibility, and institutional investor access. Many investment funds operate under mandates that explicitly prohibit holding OTC securities, potentially forcing certain shareholders to liquidate positions.
The concurrent delay in filing both the annual 10-K and quarterly 10-Q reports creates an information vacuum that prevents investors from independently verifying management's claims about strong fundamentals and higher intrinsic value. This lack of current financial disclosure represents a fundamental governance weakness.
While management expresses surprise at the suspension, their prior engagement with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel indicates awareness of listing compliance issues. The vague mention of "substantial progress" sent to Nasdaq on May 7th—just before delisting—without specific details raises questions about the effectiveness of these remediation efforts.
The multi-stage recovery roadmap (OTC Pink → OTCQB → major exchange) suggests a prolonged timeline for returning to premier listing status. Statistically, companies face significant challenges returning to major exchanges after delisting, with many never completing this journey.
Though some trading avenues remain available through major brokerages, OTC markets typically feature wider bid-ask spreads and increased transaction costs. The additional account approval requirements noted in the letter create further friction for investor participation.
Management's commitment to providing more plan details by May 9th represents a positive step toward transparency, but this immediate regulatory failure represents a material adverse change to shareholder value through reduced market access and incomplete financial disclosure.
Dear ConnectM Community,
As you may have noticed, Nasdaq suspended trading of our stock this morning. With the guidance of the nation's top Nasdaq Advisory consultant, we had a meeting with the Hearings Panel two weeks ago to discuss our plan to regain compliance under the Nasdaq market value of listed securities and timely filing requirements and were quite surprised by their sudden suspension notice.
I want to be very clear that ConnectM's fundamentals have not changed. Our operations and growth prospects are as strong as ever. We have several appealing capital raise, organic, and inorganic growth options available to us and management will prudently evaluate these options in the best interest of our stockholders. I believe the future remains bright for ConnectM and our intrinsic value is well above our current market price.
Post our Nasdaq hearing, management made substantial progress towards regaining listing compliance and this information has been sent to Nasdaq as of May 7, 2025. As a result, we are currently consulting with our advisors regarding the possibility of appealing the decision and presenting our plan to regain and maintain compliance.
While we sort through the above, ConnectM is currently listed on the OTC Pink Market, and our stock can be traded through certain brokerage accounts, including Charles Schwab, Fidelity, E*Trade, and Interactive Brokers. Some of these platforms require user approval for OTC trading and users may need to adjust account settings and risk profiles so please check with your broker if you would like to trade our stock.
We plan to uplist the company to the OTCQB Market as soon as possible and ultimately back to either the Nasdaq or NYSE regardless of whether our appeal is successful. Our team is laser focused on filing our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, followed by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. I intend to provide more details on this plan by May 9th.
Despite this setback, my management team and I want to reiterate our commitment to the company, our employees, our stockholders, and our community. ConnectM is a viable, strong, growing company and we will demonstrate this in due course.
Sincerely Yours,
Bhaskar Panigrahi
