DALLAS, May 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DZS Inc. (“DZS” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DZSI), a global leader of broadband networking and software-defined cloud solutions, announced today that on May 14, 2024, as expected, it received a delinquency notification letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) because the Company did not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024 (the “First Quarter 10-Q”). The notification letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously reported by the Company in its Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2024, the Company was unable to timely file the First Quarter 10-Q without unreasonable effort or expense by the prescribed due date for such filing.
As previously disclosed, following the Company’s failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, and its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023 (together with the First Quarter 10-Q, the “Delinquent Reports”), the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Rule.
Although the Company cannot at this time estimate when it will file the Delinquent Reports, it is diligently pursuing completion of the previously disclosed restatements and intends to make such filings as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event, on or prior to August 5, 2024, which is the previously disclosed deadline granted by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel for the Company to demonstrate compliance with applicable Nasdaq continued listing standards.
