Lordstown receives delisting notice, considers reverse stock split

By Michael Elkins 

Lordstown Motors (NASDAQ:) said Thursday that the electric vehicle company has received a delisting notice from Nasdaq and is evaluating actions including a reverse stock split to meet the minimum bid price requirement set by the exchange.

The EV startup received the notice because the closing bid price for the company’s class A common stock fell below the minimum required price of $1 per share for 30 straight sessions, according to a regulatory filing.

Lordstown had put in a proposal on April 11 for its annual shareholder meeting, slated for May 22, to get an approval to carry out a reverse stock split of its class A common stock in the ratio ranging from one-for-three to one-for-fifteen.

The notice has no immediate impact on the company’s stock listing and Lordstown Motors will have until Oct. 16 to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s rules.
