Fusion (Nasdaq: FSNN), a leading provider of cloud services, today announced that it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market on April 16, 2019informing the Company that it has not paid certain fees required by Listing Rule 5250(f).
Nasdaq has indicated that the non-payment of the fee is a basis for delisting the Company's securities from Nasdaq. As previously disclosed, on April 4, 2019, Fusion received notification from Nasdaq stating that, as a result of not having timely filed its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
The Company has decided that it is not in its best interest to challenge Nasdaq's determination at this time and anticipates, as indicated in Nasdaq's letter, that the Company's common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and suspended effective at the opening of business on April 25, 2019. The common stock will remain listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol FSNN until delisted.
Following the delisting, the Company anticipates that its common stock will be eligible to be quoted on the over-the-counter market, but no assurance can be made that trading in the Company's common stock on the over-the-counter market will commence or be maintained. The over-the-counter market is a significantly more limited market than The Nasdaq Global Market, and the transition to the over-the-counter market is likely to result in there being a less liquid market available for existing and potential holders of the Company's common stock, and could further depress the trading price of the Company's common stock.
