Nasdaq notified Canaan Inc. that its closing bid has been below $1 for the last 30 business days, putting the company out of compliance with listing rules. Canaan has 180 days (until July 13) to regain compliance by achieving a closing bid of at least $1 per share for 10 consecutive trading days. The stock closed at $0.79, down 3.8% on the day and about 63% over the past 12 months. Canaan said Nasdaq staff could grant more time or the company could seek an extension and agree to a reverse stock split; failure to regain compliance could result in delisting and a move to OTC markets.
