Rubicon Technology Announces Voluntary Delisting from Nasdaq

Bensenville, IL , Dec. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rubicon Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: RBCN) announced that it has notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) of the Company’s decision to voluntarily delist its common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market and its intent to file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about December 23, 2022. As a result, the Company expects the delisting of its common stock to become effective on December 30, 2022.

The Company anticipates that its common stock will be quoted on the Pink Sheets platform, which is operated by OTC Markets Group Inc.  (the "Pink Sheets"), and it currently intends to continue to provide information to its stockholders and to take such actions within its control to enable its common stock to be quoted in the Pink Sheets so that a trading market may continue to exist for its common stock. There is no guarantee, however, that a broker will continue to make a market in the common stock and that trading of the common stock will continue on the Pink Sheets or otherwise.

On October 14, 2022, the Company received notifications from Nasdaq that it was no longer in compliance with various Nasdaq independent director requirements set forth in Listing Rule 5605.  This rule requires, among other things, that the Company’s (i) Board of Directors be composed of a majority of independent directors, (ii) Audit Committee be composed of three independent directors, and (iii) Compensation Committee be composed of two independent directors.  The Company’s Board of Directors is composed of four directors, one of which is an employee of the Company and therefore is not independent. The Board has not yet determined whether the two newly appointed directors will be deemed to be independent under the NASDAQ Listing Rules.

The Company’s Board of Directors has determined that the voluntary delisting of the Company’s common stock will be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board’s decision was based on careful review of several factors, including the benefits to the Company of eliminating the expenses of being listed on NASDAQ and the costs associated with it, as well as eliminating the demands on management’s time of complying with the Nasdaq listing standards.
