4 min readPublished On: November 23rd, 2022By

LAVAL, QC – Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: NEPT) today announced a revision to its previously announced revenue range on November 15, 2022 for the fiscal second quarter 2023 from US$12.5 to $13.5 million to US$11.5 million to $12.5 million. Approximately 70% of second quarter revenues were from Sprout, representing a double digit increase compared to the same quarter last year.

On November 15, 2022, the Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC, which stated that it was unable to file the Form 10-Q by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense because it required additional time to finalize its financial statements to be included in the Form 10-Q. The Company did not file its Form 10-Q by the fifth calendar day delay after the prescribed due date. On November 22, 2022, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that, as a result of not having timely filed the Form 10-Q with the SEC, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), which requires timely filing of all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. The Notice will have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, although there can be no assurances that further delays in the filing of the Form 10-Q will not have an impact on the listing or trading of the Company’s common shares. The Notice indicated that the Company can regain compliance with the Listing Rule at any time prior to January 23, 2023 by filing the Form 10-Q. If the Company fails to file the Form 10-Q by such date, the Company may submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule prior to such date and, following receipt of such plan, Nasdaq may grant an extension of 180 calendar days from the Form 10-Q due date, or until May 15, 2023, for the Company to regain compliance.

While the Company can provide no assurances as to timing, Neptune expects to file its fiscal second quarter 2023 Form 10-Q shortly. Following the release of Form 10-Q, the Company will host a conference call to discuss and provide a business update. The conference call details will be announced in advance.
