SmartKem Inc. is facing potential delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market after failing to meet the $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirement stipulated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b). The company received a formal notice of non-compliance and was granted a 180-day extension to regain compliance, which expired on February 11, 2026. Following continued non-compliance, Nasdaq staff moved to delist SmartKem’s securities unless the company requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. SmartKem plans to request the hearing, which will temporarily halt suspension or delisting actions. However, there is no assurance that the Panel will grant an extension or that SmartKem will successfully regain compliance to maintain its Nasdaq listing.
