Severn Bancorp, Inc. Receives NASDAQ Notice Regarding Late Form 10-K Filing
ANNAPOLIS, Md., April 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Severn Bancorp, Inc., (NASDAQ: SVBI) (the "Company") announced today that it received a notice 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) because the Company did not timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (the "Form 10-K") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The NASDAQ notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market.
The Company is experiencing a delay in filing due to changes in procedures resulting from the transition to becoming an accelerated filer pursuant to the rules of the SEC. Despite the delay the Company reported record earnings for 2018 and will report no change in its earnings in the Form 10-K.
The Company is required to submit a plan to regain compliance with the NASDAQ's filing requirements for continued listing within 60 calendar days of the date of the NASDAQ notification letter. The Company anticipates it will file its Form 10-K with the SEC on or about April 17, 2019 and thereby regain compliance with the NASDAQ continued listing requirements eliminating the need for the Company to submit a formal plan.
