Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Edible Garden AG Incorporated reported that Nasdaq notified the company it no longer meets the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) after at least 30 consecutive business days below that level. Because the company has completed significant reverse stock splits in the past two years, it is not eligible for an automatic compliance period. Unless it appeals, trading of its securities on Nasdaq will be suspended at the opening of business on June 5, 2026. The company plans to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel by June 3, 2026, which will stay the suspension while the appeal is pending, but there is no assurance Nasdaq will grant additional time or that the company will regain compliance.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq delisting risk disclosed: Edible Garden no longer meets Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price rule, is ineligible for an automatic compliance period due to prior reverse splits, and faces a potential trading suspension on June 5, 2026 pending an uncertain appeal outcome.

Insights

Nasdaq non-compliance creates real delisting risk for Edible Garden.

Edible Garden has fallen below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement for at least 30 consecutive business days. Due to prior reverse stock splits, Nasdaq rules do not allow a standard grace period, making this deficiency more acute than usual.

Nasdaq plans to suspend trading on June 5, 2026, but a timely hearing request by June 3, 2026 will keep the shares and warrants trading while a Nasdaq Hearings Panel reviews the case. The filing notes there is no assurance of extra time or successful remediation.

If the company ultimately cannot satisfy Nasdaq’s listing standards, its securities could move to an over-the-counter venue, typically reducing liquidity and institutional participation. The outcome will depend on the Panel’s decision and any actions the company takes to improve compliance, as reflected in future disclosures.

Non-compliance measurement period At least 30 consecutive business days Period with closing bid below $1.00
Trading suspension date June 5, 2026 Planned Nasdaq suspension at market open absent appeal
Hearing request deadline June 3, 2026 Deadline to request Nasdaq Hearings Panel review
Reverse stock split condition Cumulative ratio > 250-to-1 in two years Triggers ineligibility for standard compliance period
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) regulatory
"the Company no longer meets Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price"
reverse stock split financial
"because the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or has effected one or more reverse stock splits"
A reverse stock split is when a company reduces the number of its shares outstanding, making each share more valuable. For example, if you own 100 shares worth $1 each, a 1-for-10 reverse split would turn your 100 shares into 10 shares worth $10 each. Companies often do this to boost their stock price and appear more stable to investors.
Bid Price Rule regulatory
"which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”)"
Nasdaq Hearings Panel regulatory
"requesting a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”)"
A Nasdaq hearings panel is a group of experts that reviews cases when a company's stock listing is at risk of being removed from the exchange. They evaluate whether the company has met certain standards and determine if it can keep trading on Nasdaq. This process matters to investors because it can affect a company's ability to raise money and maintain credibility in the market.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

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

 

On May 27, 2026, Edible Garden AG Incorporated (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for at least 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”).

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), because the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or has effected one or more reverse stock splits in the last two years with a cumulative ratio greater than 250 shares to 1, the Company is not eligible for any compliance period to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. The Company’s securities will be suspended from trading on Nasdaq at the opening of business on June 5, 2026 unless the Company timely appeals the Staff determination by requesting a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

 

The Company has until June 3, 2026 to request a hearing before the Panel. The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel. The hearing request will automatically stay the suspension of the Company’s securities from trading on Nasdaq until further action from the Panel. While the appeal is pending, the Company’s common stock and warrants will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the symbols “EDBL” and “EDBLW,” respectively. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company additional time to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards or that the Company could ultimately meet all applicable criteria for continued listing on Nasdaq.

How is Edible Garden (EDBL) responding to the Nasdaq delisting notice?
