Bakkt Receives NYSE Warning Over Compliance Issues
Crypto trading platform Bakkt has received a warning from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) regarding compliance with stock price requirements. The NYSE raised concerns after Bakkt’s stock price traded below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive days as of March 12. However, the notice does not immediately result in delisting from the NYSE.
September Deadline to Restore Stock Value
Bakkt has informed the NYSE that it plans to rectify the stock price issue and meet the required listing standards. The company now has six months to bring its stock price back up to the minimum requirement. If Bakkt takes an action requiring shareholder approval to address the issue, it must notify the NYSE. The non-compliance will be considered resolved if the stock price promptly rises above $1.00 per share and remains there for 30 consecutive trading days.
Bakkt’s Financial Health Warning in February
In February, Bakkt issued a warning about its financial health. In a document filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company expressed concerns about its operational viability due to inadequate cash reserves. Bakkt stated that it might not be able to continue as a going concern and that its current cash and restricted cash might not be sufficient to fund operations for the next 12 months. The company also acknowledged the need to generate sustainable operating profit and sufficient cash flows or raise additional capital in the near future.
