Common Stock to be Suspended from Trading on Nasdaq

 

As previously reported, Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  On February 6, 2018, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) granted the Company’s request for continued listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) until May 10, 2018, subject to certain conditions.  One of the Panel’s conditions for continued listing required the Company to become current in its filings with the SEC by May 10, 2018.  The Panel decision also required the Company to inform the Panel in the event that events occur that call into question the Company’s ability to meet the May 10, 2018 deadline.  On May 4, 2018, the Company informed the Panel of its determination that it would be unable to satisfy the May 10, 2018 deadline.

 

As expected, on May 11, 2018 the Company received a notification letter from the Panel indicating that trading in the Company’s common stock will be suspended effective at the open of business on May 14, 2018.  The letter also notified the Company that the Panel has determined to delist the Company’s shares from Nasdaq after applicable appeal periods have lapsed.  The Company plans to appeal the decision to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council.  During the appeal period, trading in the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq will remain suspended and Nasdaq will not effect a delisting of the Company’s common stock.  Once the Company has regained compliance with its SEC reporting obligations, the Company intends to request the Panel to lift the suspension and allow the Company’s common stock to recommence trading on Nasdaq.  As previously disclosed, the Company anticipates regaining compliance with its SEC reporting obligations no later than June 30, 2018.

 

While the Company’s common stock is suspended from trading on Nasdaq, the Company’s shares will be quoted on the OTC Markets under the trading symbol SNCR.  For quotes or additional information on the OTC Markets, you may visit http://www.otcmarkets.com.
