  • Greenlane Granted Continued Listing from Nasdaq Hearings Panel, Subject to Return to Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules

    Greenlane Granted Continued Listing from Nasdaq Hearings Panel, Subject to Return to Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules

    BOCA RATON, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 2, 2025 / Greenlane Holdings, Inc. (“Greenlane” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:GNLN), one of the premier global sellers of premium cannabis accessories, child-resistant packaging, and specialty vaporization products, today announced today announced that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Panel”) has granted the Company’s request for an extension to evidence compliance with all applicable criteria for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

    As previously reported by Greenlane on its current report on Form 8-K, on April 2, 2025, the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Nasdaq Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) issued a determination to the Company, which was communicated through a delisting notice (the “Delisting Notice”), indicating that the Company did not satisfy the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement for the continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) by February 19, 2025. The Company subsequently requested a hearing (the “Hearing”) before the Panel to appeal the determination by the Nasdaq Staff, and present its plan to regain and sustain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. Further, as previously reported by Greenlane on its current report on Form 8-K, on May 9, 2025, Nasdaq Staff issued a public interest determination to the Company, which was communicated through an additional delisting notice, whereby Staff invoked its broad discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101, due to the issuance of Series B warrants exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with its securities purchase agreement dated February 18, 2025.

    The Nasdaq hearing on the matter was held on May 15, 2025. During the Hearing, Greenlane presented an overview of its current and ongoing strategic initiatives aimed at enhancing shareholder value and regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.

    On May 30, 2025, the Panel issued its determination (the “Panel Determination Letter”) to the Company, granting the Company’s request for the continued listing of the Company’s common shares on Nasdaq, but subject to the Company’s evidencing compliance with the following: (i) on or before June 16, 2025, the Company must obtain shareholder approval for a reverse stock split at a ratio sufficient to achieve compliance with the Bid Price Rule; (ii) on or before June 27, 2025, the Company must effect a reverse stock split and achieve a minimum closing bid price of $1.00; and, (iii) to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement, the Company’s common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days by July 11, 2025. Importantly, the Panel did not believe that the issuance of a public interest determination based on the facts in this matter was appropriate.
