SemiLEDs Corp 10-Q

Item 1. Legal Proceedings Due to the complex technology required to compete successfully in the LED industry, participants in our industry are often engaged in significant intellectual property licensing arrangements, negotiations, disputes and litigation. We are directly or indirectly involved from time to time and may be named in various other claims or legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business or otherwise. There were no material pending legal proceedings or claims as of November 30, 2024. Item 1A. R isk Factors Except as set forth below, there are no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our 2024 Annual Report. We may fail to qualify for continued listing on Nasdaq which could make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares. Our common stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market. To maintain that listing, we must satisfy the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, including among other things, a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million and a minimum bid price for our common stock of $1.00 per share. On December 4, 2024, we received a notice from Nasdaq indicating that we did not meet the minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing or the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. Pursuant to the Nasdaq listing rule, we submitted a plan to Nasdaq. If Nasdaq accepts our plan, we will be granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from December 4, 2024 to evidence compliance. There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept our plan or, if they do, that we will regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements or that our common stock will not be delisted from Nasdaq in the future. If our common stock is delisted by Nasdaq, we expect prices for our common stock to be quoted on one of the OTC Markets or the OTC Bulletin Board. Under such circumstances, stockholders may find it more difficult to sell, or to obtain accurate quotations, for our common stock, and our common stock would become substantially less attractive to certain purchasers such as financial institutions, hedge funds and other similar investors. There is no assurance, however, that prices of our common stock would be quoted on one of these other trading systems or that an active trading market for our common stock would thereafter exist, which would materially and adversely impact the market value of our common stock.
