Bridgeline Digital gets Nasdaq $1 bid-price notice

The initial compliance window runs through April 12, 2027; a second 180-day period may be available if Nasdaq's additional conditions are met.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Nasdaq notified Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (BLIN) that its common stock no longer meets the $1.00 minimum bid-price requirement, based on closing bid prices for the 30 consecutive business days ended October 13, 2026. The company has an initial 180-calendar-day compliance period, through April 12, 2027, to meet the requirement for at least 10 consecutive business days.

The notice does not immediately delist the common stock. Nasdaq may provide an additional 180-calendar-day compliance period if the company meets the other specified initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, including the market-value requirement for publicly held shares, and gives Nasdaq written notice of its intent to cure the deficiency.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Bid Price Requirement regulatory

"satisfying the Bid Price Requirement"

A bid price requirement is a rule that specifies the minimum price a buyer must offer per share when making an official purchase proposal, tender offer, auction bid, or similar transaction. It matters to investors because it sets a floor for negotiations and valuation—like a reserve price in an auction—ensuring bids meet regulatory, contract or market standards and helping shareholders and markets judge whether an offer is fair or likely to succeed.

Initial Compliance Period regulatory

"provided an initial period of 180 calendar days"

Additional Compliance Period regulatory

"may be provided an additional compliance period"

market value of publicly held shares regulatory

"continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held shares"

The market value of publicly held shares is the total dollar worth of a company’s shares that are available to outside investors, calculated by multiplying the current market price by the number of shares held by the public (the “float”). It matters because it tells investors how much of the company is actually tradable and how the market is pricing that tradable portion—like a price tag on the items on a store shelf, it affects liquidity, volatility and how easy it is to buy or sell a meaningful stake.

Item 3.01.             Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On October 14, 2026, Bridgeline Digital, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”) for the thirty (30) consecutive business days ended October 13, 2026, the Company no longer satisfies the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 12, 2027 (the “Initial Compliance Period”), to regain compliance by satisfying the Bid Price Requirement for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days during the Initial Compliance Period.

If the Company does not regain compliance within the Initial Compliance Period, it may be provided an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days (the “Additional Compliance Period”). To qualify for the Additional Compliance Period, the Company must satisfy the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement. The Company must also provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency.

The letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Common Stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and consider its available options in the event it is unable to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.
