Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. has received a Nasdaq notice that its securities are subject to potential suspension and delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market because it did not regain compliance with Nasdaq’s market value of listed securities and market value of publicly held securities requirements by August 18, 2025. The company’s market value of listed securities had fallen below $50,000,000 and its market value of publicly held securities below $15,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days ended February 14, 2025, triggering the initial deficiency notices.

On August 21, 2025, the company requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to seek additional time to regain compliance, which it expects will stay any suspension or delisting action while the hearing is pending. The company plans to present a compliance plan but cautions there is no assurance the Panel will grant continued listing or that it can meet all listing criteria within any period that may be allowed.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq delisting risk: The company did not regain compliance with Nasdaq’s $50,000,000 market value of listed securities and $15,000,000 market value of publicly held securities standards by the August 18, 2025 deadline, and its securities are now subject to potential suspension and delisting pending a Nasdaq Hearings Panel decision.

Insights

Nasdaq compliance failure creates real delisting risk for Rain.

Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. has failed to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s market value of listed securities and market value of publicly held securities requirements tied to $50,000,000 and $15,000,000 minimums after a 180-day grace period ending on August 18, 2025. Nasdaq staff has notified the company that its securities are subject to suspension and delisting from the Nasdaq Global Market starting August 28, 2025 absent a successful appeal.

The company has requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel on August 21, 2025, which it expects will stay any immediate suspension or delisting while the case is reviewed. At that hearing, the company intends to present a plan to restore compliance with all applicable listing criteria, but explicitly notes that there can be no assurance the Panel will grant continued listing or additional time.

For investors, the key issue is that trading venue and liquidity could change materially if the Panel denies relief or if the company cannot meet the $50,000,000 and $15,000,000 thresholds within any period granted. The company also highlights potential adverse effects on its business and stock price volatility as specific risks tied to this situation, alongside broader risk factors described in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

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

 

As previously disclosed, on February 18, 2025, Rain Enhancement Technologies Holdco, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “MVLS Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff (“Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) which notified the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business days ended February 14, 2025, the Company’s market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) closed below the $50,000,000 MVLS threshold required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Rule”). Also on February 18, 2025, the Company received written notice (the “MVPHS Notice”) from the Staff that for the 30 consecutive business days ended February 14, 2025, the Company’s market value of publicly held securities (“MVPHS”) closed below the $15,000,000 MVPHS threshold required for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)C) (the “MVPHS Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company had 180 calendar days, or until August 18, 2025, to regain compliance with each of the MVLS Rule and the MVPHS Rule.

 

On August 19, 2025, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Staff indicating that the Company had not regained compliance with either the MVLS Rule or the MVPHS Rule and, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s securities would be subject to suspension and delisting from The Nasdaq Global Market at the opening of business on August 28, 2025.

 

The Company submitted its timely request for a hearing before the Panel on August 21, 2025, to request additional time to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule and the MVPHS Rule. The Company expects that its hearing request will result in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing. At the hearing, the Company intends to present its plan to achieve compliance with all applicable listing criteria, including the MVLS Rule and the MVPHS Rule; however, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to achieve compliance within any period of time that may be granted by the Panel. The Company is considering all options available to it to regain compliance with all applicable listing rules.
