Rhea-AI Filing Summary

SANUWAVE Health, Inc. (SNWV) received a Nasdaq notice on September 23, 2026, stating that its Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) had remained below the $50,000,000 minimum for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market for 30 consecutive business days. The notice does not immediately affect trading; its common stock continues on The Nasdaq Global Market, subject to other listing requirements.

SANUWAVE has until March 22, 2027, under a 180-calendar-day compliance period to regain the minimum. Compliance is restored if MVLS closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the period. If the company does not regain compliance by the deadline, Nasdaq will notify it that its securities are subject to delisting.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Failure to regain MVLS compliance by March 22, 2027 triggers a delisting notice.

Filing Explained

The company also identifies a possible alternative: applying to transfer its listing to Nasdaq Capital Market, which would require meeting that market’s continued-listing requirements; it is presented as an option, not a completed change.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing Securities
The company received a delisting notice, failed to satisfy a continued-listing rule or standard, or transferred its listing.
Minimum MVLS $50,000,000 Minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market
MVLS deficiency period 30 consecutive business days Period MVLS remained below the continued-listing minimum
Compliance period 180 calendar days Period provided from the September 23, 2026 notice
Compliance deadline March 22, 2027 End of the compliance period
Compliance test 10 consecutive business days MVLS must close at $50,000,000 or more during the compliance period
Market Value of Listed Securities regulatory
"Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below $50,000,000"
Market value of listed securities is the market value of the shares a company has listed on an exchange, calculated as the closing bid price multiplied by the number of listed shares. Exchanges use it as a continued-listing standard, so a company that stays under the required minimum receives a deficiency notice and is given a set period to recover before facing delisting.
compliance period regulatory
"provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days"
A compliance period is a defined stretch of time during which a company must meet specific legal, regulatory, or contractual rules and reporting requirements. Think of it like a scheduled inspection window or a homework deadline: failing to satisfy the rules within that window can trigger fines, restrictions, or extra oversight, so investors watch compliance periods as signals of near-term legal risk, potential costs, and impacts on a company’s operations or cash flow.
continued listing requirements regulatory
"satisfies the applicable continued listing requirements"
Rules a stock exchange sets that a publicly traded company must keep meeting to stay listed and tradable on that exchange, such as minimum share price, market value, timely financial reports, and basic governance practices. Like a club’s membership rules, they matter because falling short can lead to warnings, penalties or removal from the exchange, which can cut liquidity, hurt share value and increase the risk for investors.

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

On September 23, 2026, Sanuwave Health, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below $50,000,000, which is the minimum MVLS required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Global Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company is provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until March 22, 2027, to regain compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement. If, at any time during this compliance period, the Company’s MVLS closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement before the expiration of the compliance period, the Company will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. Alternatively, the Company may consider applying to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that it satisfies the applicable continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to monitor its MVLS and consider available options to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully maintain the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market or, if transferred, on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
