Ineligible for Extension
Nasdaq notified the company that it is not eligible for an additional compliance period for the bid price deficiency.

Referred to Hearings Panel
The minimum bid price deficiency will now be considered by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which is already reviewing the company's non-compliance with periodic reporting requirements.

Continued Delisting Risk

Analysis
Vestand Inc. has failed to regain compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid price rule and is not eligible for an extension, escalating its delisting risk. This compounds existing delisting issues related to overdue financial reports, with both matters now before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The company's ability to maintain its Nasdaq listing is severely threatened.
