Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Moolec Science received a decision from a Nasdaq Hearings Panel allowing its shares to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to specific conditions. The Panel found that Moolec regained compliance with the minimum bid price rule on January 16, 2026, after a reverse stock split that became effective on January 5, 2026.

The Panel noted that Moolec filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended June 30, 2025, on December 29, 2025, and accepted the company’s plan to address the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. Continued listing depends on Moolec providing derecognition updates by the end of February 2026, updated pro forma financial information by the end of March 2026, timely public disclosure of actions to demonstrate equity compliance by May 13, 2026, and full compliance with all Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing standards by May 13, 2026.

Positive

  • Nasdaq conditional continued listing: The Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted Moolec Science continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, confirming it regained minimum bid price compliance following a reverse stock split effective January 5, 2026.
  • Regained filing compliance: The company filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025 on December 29, 2025, addressing a key reporting requirement noted by the Panel.

Negative

  • Ongoing equity compliance risk: Moolec remains out of full compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement and must execute a Panel-accepted plan to regain compliance within the specified timeframe.
  • Time-bound listing conditions: Continued listing is contingent on meeting several milestones, including derecognition updates, updated pro forma financial information, and full compliance with all Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing requirements by May 13, 2026.

Insights

Nasdaq grants Moolec conditional listing lifeline with strict 2026 milestones.

The filing shows that Moolec Science has avoided immediate Nasdaq delisting. A Hearings Panel accepted its appeal and confirmed that the company is back in line with the minimum bid price rule after a reverse stock split effective January 5, 2026.

However, Moolec still faces the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. The Panel accepted a plan that it believes offers a reasonable expectation of regaining compliance, but tied this to concrete obligations: derecognition updates by end of February 2026 and updated pro forma financials by end of March 2026.

By May 13, 2026, Moolec must both publicly disclose actions taken to meet Nasdaq equity and listing standards and demonstrate compliance with all continued listing requirements. The outcome will depend on execution of its plan and subsequent disclosures in the periods leading up to May 13, 2026.

With respect to the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), the Panel recognized that the Company has presented a plan that offers a reasonable expectation of regaining compliance within the applicable period.

 

The continued listing determination is subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions, including (i) the provision of updates to the Panel regarding the status of derecognition proceedings by the end of February 2026, (ii) the delivery of updated pro forma financial information by the end of March 2026, (iii) the timely public disclosure of actions taken to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s equity and continued listing requirements by May 13, 2026 and (iv) the Company’s demonstration, on or before May 13, 2026, of compliance with all continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Moolec intends to fully satisfy the conditions outlined in the Panel’s decision and remains focused on maintaining sustained compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, strengthening its financial framework and advancing its strategic priorities.
