On November 14, 2014, Marrone Bio Innovations, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 indicating that the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 (the “Form 10-Q”) will be delayed until after the completion of the previously-disclosed internal investigation by the Company’s Audit Committee regarding certain accounting matters.
As anticipated, on November 17, 2014, the Company received a letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the filing requirements for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company’s delay in filing the Form 10-Q. The NASDAQ letter states that the Company is required to submit a plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s filing requirements for continued listing within 60 calendar days of the date of the NASDAQ notification letter. Upon acceptance of the Company’s compliance plan, NASDAQ is permitted to grant an extension of up to 180 days from the Form 10-Q’s filing due date for the Company to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s filing requirements for continued listing.
The Company’s Audit Committee continues to work diligently to complete its internal investigation, and the Company intends to regain compliance with the NASDAQ’s filing requirements. The Company currently expects to file the Form 10-Q as soon as practicable after the Audit Committee completes its investigation. At this time, the Company is not able to provide an estimate of when the investigation will be completed or when such filing will be made.
The Company issued a press release on November 21, 2014 disclosing the Company’s receipt of the NASDAQ notification letter. A copy of such press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
