Sonendo, Inc. Announces Receipt of Notice of Non-Compliance with NYSE Trading Share Price Listing Rule
LAGUNA HILLS, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sonendo, Inc. (NYSE: SONX) (“Sonendo” or the “Company”), a leading dental technology company and developer of the GentleWave® System, today announced that on September 28, 2023, it received notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with applicable price criteria in the NYSE’s continued listing standard set forth in the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE.
The Company intends to respond to the NYSE within 10 business days of receipt of the Notice of its intent to cure the deficiency. In accordance with NYSE rules, the Company has a period of six months following the receipt of the Notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The Company may regain compliance at any time within the six-month cure period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the Company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month.
Under the NYSE’s rules, if the Company determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action that will require stockholder approval at its next annual meeting of stockholders, the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 trading days.
The Company’s Common Stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards. The receipt of the Notice does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
About Sonendo
Sonendo is a commercial-stage medical technology company focused on saving teeth from tooth decay, the most prevalent chronic disease globally. Sonendo develops and manufactures the GentleWave® System, an innovative technology platform designed to treat tooth decay by cleaning and disinfecting the microscopic spaces within teeth without the need to remove tooth structure. The system utilizes a proprietary mechanism of action, which combines procedure fluid optimization, broad-spectrum acoustic energy and advanced fluid dynamics, to debride and disinfect deep regions of the complex root canal system in a less invasive procedure that preserves tooth structure. The clinical benefits of the GentleWave System when compared to conventional methods of root canal therapy include improved clinical outcomes, such as superior cleaning that is independent of root canal complexity and tooth anatomy, high and rapid rates of healing and minimal to no post-operative pain. In addition, the GentleWave System can improve the workflow and economics of dental practices. Sonendo is also the parent company of TDO Software, the developer of widely used endodontic practice management software solutions, designed to simplify practice workflow.
