Insights

Exchange listing & compliance analyst

Noncompliance notice starts a formal plan-and-review timeline.

Milestone Scientific disclosed a NYSE American noncompliance notice tied to continued listing standards (Sections 1003(a)(ii) and (iii)). The company must provide a plan by November 7, 2025, after which the Exchange may allow continued listing with periodic reviews if the plan is accepted.

The outcome depends on Exchange acceptance and execution against the plan. The notice also sets a backstop: failure to regain compliance by April 8, 2027 or to make adequate progress can lead to delisting procedures.

Key milestones are the plan submission by November 7, 2025 and the compliance deadline on April 8, 2027. Actual impact will hinge on the plan’s acceptance and subsequent progress under Exchange oversight.
