Artelo Biosciences: Nasdaq $5M market value rule delayed by temporary stay
The SEC approved a Nasdaq rule requiring listed companies to maintain at least $5,000,000 in market value of listed securities, and Artelo was among about 180 Nasdaq companies initially flagged as below that threshold. The rule is now under a temporary stay, and the company does not know how long the stay will last or whether the rule will be reinstated in its current form.
Key points
- SEC approved Nasdaq's $5M MVLS rule on July 22, 2026; a temporary stay was announced July 29, 2026.
- On October 5, 2026, the SEC published Nasdaq's proposed change tying the rule's operative date to the end of the stay; comments are due October 29, 2026.
- Artelo says it may consider raising capital through its at-the-market equity program or other financings if the rule applies to it, but has not committed to any course of action.
