HOUSTON, Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: RICK) received on February 13, 2020, as anticipated, a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market notifying the company of its continued noncompliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requiring the timely filing of reports with the SEC. Nasdaq sent the letter in connection with RCI not filing its Form 10-Q for the first quarter ended December 31, 2019 and its Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019. Nasdaq's letter has no immediate effect on the company's stock listing.
On February 13, 2020, the company filed its Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2019. The next day, February 14, 2020, RCI submitted a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance. RCI anticipates filing its Form 10-Q before the end of the month, assuming there are no unforeseen delays. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, the exchange may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the 10-K's due date, or until June 15, 2020, to regain compliance.
