Tuesday Morning Announces Voluntary Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market

DALLAS, Dec. 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tuesday Morning Corporation (NASDAQ: TUEM) (“Tuesday Morning” or the “Company”), a leading off-price retailer of home goods and décor, today 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 January 2, 2023. As a result, the Company expects the delisting of its common stock to become effective on or about January 12, 2023.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 10, 2022, the Company’s Audit Committee was reduced to two members in connection with the appointment of Andrew Berger as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer. Accordingly, the Company currently is not compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2), which requires that the audit committee of a Nasdaq listed company consist of at least three members, each of whom is an independent director pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules. On November 7, 2022, the Company notified Nasdaq of Mr. Berger’s appointment as Chief Executive Officer and resignation from the Audit Committee and the resulting non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2). The Company also received a letter from Nasdaq indicating the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 and noting that the Company would, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B), have a cure period until the earlier of its next annual meeting of shareholders or May 3, 2023 to regain compliance.

The delisting is the first step in a longer-term plan for the Company to deregister as a public reporting company and terminate its obligations to make filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Assuming certain conditions to deregistration are satisfied, including the Company having fewer than 300 record holders of its stock as of the beginning of its next fiscal year on July 3, 2023, the Company expects the deregistration would be complete in September of 2023.

The Company’s Board of Directors made the decision to delist and deregister the Company following careful consideration of its current financial situation. Due to a number of factors, including lower than forecast sales, increased insurance costs and costs relating to the separation with senior Company executives in November 2022, the Company is facing near-term capital constraints and is actively seeking to raise additional capital. With the Company’s liquidity position and the potential benefits of listing in mind, the Board of Directors has determined that the voluntary delisting of the Company’s common stock is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Company believes a delisting and deregistration provide several benefits to the Company and its stockholders, including:

  • Flexibility in raising capital to solidify its liquidity position;
  • Lower operating costs and management time commitment for compliance and reporting activities;
  • The potential for lower regulatory and operating expenses; and
  • Simplified corporate governance structure.

The Company anticipates that its common stock will be quoted on the Pink Sheets platform or other market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTC”), 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 or on another OTC market 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 an OTC market or otherwise.
