minimum bid price requirement regulatory

"it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule"

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.

nasdaq capital market regulatory

"Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market"

It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers.
