PHOENIX, Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mesa Air Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MESA) (“Mesa” or the “Company”) today announced that it received a notice (“Notice”) on January 15, 2025 from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) because the Company failed to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing delay is not the result of a forthcoming restatement of the Company’s financial statements or any disagreement with the Company’s auditors.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Notice states that the Company has 60 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan to regain compliance, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the prescribed due date of the Form 10-K, or until July 14, 2025, to file the Form 10-K to regain compliance.

The Company continues to work diligently to complete the Form 10-K and plans to file the Form 10-K in advance of the 60-day notice period and expects to regain compliance with the Listing Rule.

This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.
