Adamas One Receives Nasdaq Notification of Non-Compliance with Listing Rules 5250(f) and 5250(c)(1)

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., April 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adamas One Corp. (Nasdaq: JEWL) (“Adamas One,” “Adamas” or the “Company”), The Original Lab-Grown Diamond Company™, a high-tech company that leverages proprietary technology to produce high-quality, single-crystal, Lab-Grown Diamonds for jewelry and diamond materials for industrial uses, today reports that it has a hearing scheduled for May 30, 2024 before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) regarding its plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”).

On April 23, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company of its noncompliance with two additional rules: (1) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(f) (the “Fees Rule”) for the Company’s failure to pay its Nasdaq annual listing fee; and (2) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filings Rule”) for the Company’s previously disclosed failure to timely file its (a) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2023 and (b) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2023.

The Company’s violations of the Fees Rule and the Filings Rule serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and the Panel will consider these matters at the May 30^th hearing.

The Company intends to present a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, the Fees Rule, and the Filings Rule, and request the continued listing of its common shares on Nasdaq pending such compliance. However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.
