Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Moolec Science SA reported that Nasdaq issued a determination letter stating its ordinary shares failed to meet the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for 30 consecutive business days and that it would not automatically receive the usual 180‑day grace period to regain compliance. Moolec has appealed to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, asking for a 180‑day period to implement a compliance plan, which may include a reverse stock split if deemed in shareholders’ best interests. The appeal temporarily halts the determination letter, so the shares continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "MLEC" while the appeal is heard on December 18, 2025. The company states that this listing issue does not affect its underlying business, operations, or SEC reporting obligations.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq bid-price deficiency and cure uncertainty: Moolec received a Nasdaq determination letter after its shares traded below the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days, and Nasdaq indicated it would not grant the usual automatic 180‑day grace period, increasing uncertainty around its continued listing.

Insights

Nasdaq bid-price noncompliance raises listing risk despite appeal stay.

Moolec Science SA disclosed that its shares stayed below the $1.00 minimum bid for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a Nasdaq determination letter and a view that it would not receive an automatic 180‑day cure period. This signals sustained share price weakness and elevates the risk around its continued Nasdaq listing.

The company has filed a timely appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, requesting a 180-day window to execute a compliance plan that could include a reverse stock split if considered best for shareholders. The appeal automatically stays the determination letter, so the shares remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol MLEC until the panel considers the case.

The hearing is scheduled for December 18, 2025, making that a key milestone for clarity on potential cure steps and ongoing listing status. The company notes the situation does not change its business, operations, or SEC reporting, but any future actions such as a reverse split would depend on the compliance plan ultimately adopted.

Moolec Receives Nasdaq Determination Letter

 

On November 14, 2025, Moolec Science SA (“Moolec” or the “Company”) received a determination letter (the “Nasdaq Determination Letter”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares had been below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for the last 30 consecutive business days, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and informing the Company of their view that the Company would not be afforded an automatic 180-day period to regain compliance with such rule.

 

The Company has submitted a timely appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, through which it will request the granting of a 180- day period to submit and effect a compliance plan, which will include a potential implementation of a reverse stock split, if determined to be in the best interest of shareholders.

 

The submission of the appeal automatically stays the effect of the Nasdaq Determination Letter until the appeal has been considered, which will take place on December 18, 2025. Accordingly, the Company’s ordinary shares will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MLEC” without interruption during such stay.

 

The Company intends to continue closely monitoring the closing bid price for its ordinary shares and remains committed to evaluating and executing all appropriate actions to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The receipt of the Nasdaq Determination Letter does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
