Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On January 6, 2023, Flora Growth Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Flora” or the Company”) issued a press release relating to the matters described in Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference in this Item 7.01.

 

The information contained in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly incorporated by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On January 5, 2023, the Company received an extension of 180 calendar days from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s minimum $1.00 bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”), following the expiration of the initial 180 calendar days period to regain compliance on January 4, 2023. The Nasdaq determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock-split, if necessary.

 

As a result of the extension, the Company now has until July 3, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before July 3, 2023, the bid price of the Company’s common shares closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that it has achieved compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock-split to regain compliance, it must be completed no later than ten business days prior to the expiration of the additional 180 calendar day period in order to timely regain compliance.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by July 3, 2023, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its shares will be subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Company would remain listed pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal a subsequent delisting determination, such appeal would be successful.

 

This current notification from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol FLGC.
