FaZe Clan’s stock price fell below $1 on January 20 for the first time. Although the shares rallied to a price of more than $1 in the days that followed, February 8th marks the last day FaZe shares traded above $1. From the moment of receiving the exclusion notification, the company has 180 calendar days, (the period ends on September 19) to return to comply with the requirements. To regain compliance with Nasdaq, the closing offering price of the common shares “must equal or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days”.
This can happen at any time within the 180-day period. You may also be eligible for an extension of an additional 180 calendar day compliance period.
