Atlas Financial Holdings Receives Anticipated Nasdaq Notice of Additional Delinquency

Atlas Financial Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AFH) (“Atlas” or the “Company”) today announced that, as expected, the Company received an additional delinquency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) due to the Company’s continued non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2019. As previously disclosed, the Company earlier received notice from the Staff regarding its non-compliance with the Rule following the Company’s delay in the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019 (collectively, the “Periodic Reports”).

Scott Wollney, CEO added, “The Company continues to proceed consistent with the milestones agreed with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel as previously disclosed.”

Importantly, and as also previously disclosed, at a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company presented its plan to regain compliance with the Rule. The Panel thereafter issued its decision granting the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market subject to the Company’s filing of the Periodic Reports with the SEC by no later than February 28, 2020. The Company intends to timely update the Panel with respect to its compliance plan as requested by the Staff.
