Analysis · SGRP · Trade & Services
Shareholders rejected the 1-for-5 reverse stock split, leaving the company unable to cure its sub-$1 bid price deficiency. Nasdaq followed immediately with a delisting notice, effective July 23 unless appealed. The company also fails the stockholders' equity rule, giving Nasdaq a second, independent basis for removal. With a market cap near $23.6 million and a recent cash burn of $3.9 million in Q1, losing Nasdaq listing threatens liquidity and access to capital at a precarious moment.
