Powell speech takes center stage in Tuesday’s economic events
Ton Strategy Co (NASDAQ:TONX), currently trading at $5.56 and down 19% in the past week, announced it received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market regarding noncompliance with shareholder approval requirements. According to InvestingPro data, the stock has shown significant volatility, with its price ranging from $3.81 to $29.77 over the past 52 weeks. The company disclosed Thursday that on October 9, 2025, it was notified by Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department that it failed to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) following an issuance of common stock and pre-funded warrants in connection with a private investment in public equity (PIPE) financing completed on August 7, 2025.
According to the press release statement, the PIPE financing was conducted under a subscription agreement dated August 3, 2025, involving certain subsidiaries and investors. On the closing date, Ton Strategy underwent significant changes in its senior management and Board of Directors, including the appointment of a new Executive Chairman. The company maintains a strong liquidity position with a current ratio of 3.34 and operates with minimal debt, as revealed in InvestingPro’s detailed financial analysis. The company also entered into a long-term advisory agreement with an entity controlled by the new Executive Chairman, who, through Kingsway Capital Limited partners and affiliates, acquired approximately 19.99% of Ton Strategy’s outstanding common stock and voting power.
Nasdaq’s letter states that Ton Strategy was required to obtain shareholder approval before issuing shares in the PIPE financing, which resulted in a change of control, but did not do so. Ton Strategy said it believed, based on outside adviser guidance at the time, that it had complied with the rule.
The company reported that the Nasdaq notice does not have an immediate effect on its continued listing on the exchange, provided it continues to meet other listing requirements. Under Nasdaq rules, Ton Strategy has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. If accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 days from the date of the notice to demonstrate compliance.
Ton Strategy stated it is evaluating its options and intends to submit a compliance plan within the required period. There is no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the plan or that the company will regain compliance.
This information is based on a statement in the company’s SEC filing.
