On October 16, 2023, U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Non-Compliance Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, because the Company has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) within the prescribed time period, the Company is not in compliance with the timely filing requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. Following receipt, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written notice of their decision. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the letter.
On October 20, 2023, the Company issued a press release regarding its receipt of the Non-Compliance Letter from Nasdaq. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 29, 2023, indicating that the filing of the Form 10-K would be delayed due to an unanticipated delay related to the determination of whether an establishment of a reserve for certain taxes is required, including the time needed to complete a comprehensive review of liabilities established under FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (codified under ASC 740-10). The Company is working diligently to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023, as soon as practicable.
