S&P 500 eases slightly from fresh record high after stronger economic growth
LONGMONT, Colorado - S&W Seed Company (NASDAQ:SANW) announced today its board has approved plans to voluntarily delist its common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market and deregister with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The agricultural company intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC around July 24, with delisting expected to become effective 10 days later. S&W plans to file a Form 15 around August 4 to suspend its reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, with deregistration becoming effective 90 days after the Form 25 filing.
The board’s decision follows consideration of several factors, including the company’s likely future non-compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and the costs associated with maintaining SEC reporting obligations. The company cited its previously disclosed events of default under certain credit facilities and employee terminations announced on June 23 as contributing factors. InvestingPro analysis reveals the company operates with a significant debt burden of $23.06 million and negative EBITDA of -$11.17 million, highlighting its financial challenges.
Following delisting, S&W’s common stock may be eligible for quotation on the Pink Open Market operated by OTC Markets Group if a market maker sponsors the security, though the company provided no assurances that a trading market will exist in the future.
S&W Seed Company, founded in 1980, describes itself as a global multi-crop, middle-market agricultural company headquartered in Longmont, Colorado.
The announcement was made in a press release statement issued by the company.
