Luna Innovations Incorporated (Nasdaq: LUNA) (the “Company”), a global leader in advanced fiber optic-based technology, today announced that, due to the Company’s inability to meet the March 27, 2025 deadline to file its previously disclosed delinquent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission to regain compliance, the trading in its securities will be suspended tomorrow, January 7, 2025, and subsequently delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Following the suspension, the Company expects its shares to be eligible to trade on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, specifically the OTC Expert Market.

The suspension/delisting of the Company’s stock from Nasdaq does not directly impact the Company’s business operations. The Company remains focused on its strategic alternatives and continues to support its customers, partners, and suppliers in the usual course.

Kevin Ilcisin, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “While we are disappointed in the restatement process schedule delays, we are encouraged by the operational discipline and improvements by the entire Luna team since May. During the second half of 2024, we secured notable wins, underscoring our commitment to providing exceptional products and services to our customers.”

Looking ahead, the Company plans to provide a broader business update later this month, including preliminary revenue and booking numbers for fiscal year 2024.
