NextTrip faces potential Nasdaq delisting over meeting rule

NextTrip, Inc. (NASDAQ:NTRP), a Nevada-based transportation services company with a market capitalization of $5.85 million and a concerning InvestingPro Financial Health Score of 1.46 (labeled as WEAK), received a notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on March 3, 2025, indicating non-compliance with Nasdaq’s Annual Meeting Rule. The rule mandates that a shareholder meeting must be held within twelve months of the fiscal year-end. The company had not conducted its annual meeting for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2024.

The company has until April 17, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant up to 180 days from the fiscal year-end for compliance, extending the deadline to August 27, 2025. If NextTrip fails to regain compliance or if Nasdaq rejects the plan, the company’s securities may face delisting, although NextTrip would have the right to appeal. The stakes are particularly high given the company’s challenging financial position, with InvestingPro data showing a concerning current ratio of 0.24 and significant debt burden.

In a separate notice on the same day, Nasdaq acknowledged that NextTrip had regained compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements. However, the company must maintain compliance in its next periodic report to avoid potential delisting.

From January 10 to March 7, 2025, NextTrip issued 176,794 unregistered shares of common stock, which was more than 5% of the outstanding shares since the last report. These issuances were made to various parties, including a former employee, contractors for services, and as dividend payments to preferred stockholders. The shares were issued in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act.

NextTrip also announced the rescheduling of its 2025 Annual Meeting to April 9, 2025. The record date and details for the meeting will be provided in a future proxy statement. Due to the rescheduling, the deadlines for shareholder proposals and nominations have been updated. Qualifying submissions must now be received by March 10, 2025.
