In other recent news, Avenue Therapeutics, a pharmaceutical company, is facing potential delisting from the Nasdaq Stock Market due to an equity shortfall. The company's recent quarterly report showed stockholders' equity of $1,652,000, falling short of the Nasdaq's minimum requirement of $2,500,000. This comes after a Nasdaq Hearings Panel decision in June, which confirmed Avenue's compliance and imposed a one-year monitoring period.
In response to the delisting notice, Avenue Therapeutics plans to request a hearing before an independent Hearings Panel to appeal the decision. The hearing, if granted, would halt the delisting process until its conclusion and any extension period thereafter.
In parallel to these developments, Avenue Therapeutics has recently granted equity to its key executives under the company's 2015 Incentive Plan. CEO Alexandra MacLean received 170,000 restricted stock units (RSUs), and Interim Principal Financial (NASDAQ:PFG) Officer and Chief Operating Officer David Jin received 65,000 RSUs. The awards, approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors, will vest in four equal installments over the next two years, contingent on continuous service.
