Stran & Company Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Staff Delisting Determination

By: Stran & Company, Inc. via GlobeNewswire

December 20, 2024 at 17:00 PM EST

Quincy, MA, Dec. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stran & Company, Inc. ("Stran" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: SWAG) (NASDAQ: SWAGW), a leading outsourced marketing solutions provider that leverages its promotional products and loyalty incentive expertise, today announced that on December 17, 2024, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), issuing a Staff delisting determination (the “Staff Determination”). The Staff Determination noted that the Staff had notified the Company on June 21, 2024, August 23, 2024 and November 21, 2024 that the Company did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filing Rule”) because the Company had not filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024 (the “Forms 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Staff Determination noted that, based on the Staff’s review and the materials submitted on August 20, 2024, the Staff granted the Company an exception until December 16, 2024 to regain compliance with the Filing Rule. The Staff Determination stated that the Company had not met the terms of the exception. Specifically, the Company has not filed the Forms 10-Q as required by the Filing Rule. The Staff Determination has no immediate effect and will not immediately result in the suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s common stock.

The Staff Determination notified the Company that the Company may request a hearing before a Hearings Panel (“Hearings Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. A request for a hearing regarding a delinquent filing will automatically stay the suspension of the Company’s securities for a period of 15 days from the date of the hearing request. However, when the Company requests a hearing, it may also request an extension of the stay through the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Hearings Panel following the hearing. However, there can be no assurance that the Hearings Panel will grant the Company an additional extension, or that the Hearings Panel will grant the Company’s request for an extended stay, or that the Company will be able to regain compliance by the end of any additional extension period. In the unlikely event that Nasdaq is not able to rule on the stay request prior to the expiration of the automatic stay, it has been Nasdaq’s recent practice to take no action until the Hearings Panel is able to make a ruling on the extended stay request. Upon such Hearings Panel ruling on the extended stay, the Company intends to make a further announcement.

Accordingly, the Company intends to timely submit a request for a hearing and for an extended stay before a Hearings Panel.

This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires the public announcement of the Staff Determination by issuing a press release, in addition to filing a Current Report on Form 8-K if required by SEC rules.
