In response to the delisting notice, Liquid Holdings requested a hearing before the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel.

According to a NASDAQ release, Liquid Holdings’ request for a hearing before the panel automatically stayed the suspension of trading in the company’s securities on NASDAQ through October 13, by which date the panel will notify the company if its request for a further stay of suspension has been granted.

If the stay is granted, the company’s common shares will remain listed on NASDAQ pending the hearing and the expiration of an extension, if any, granted by the panel following the hearing.

If a further stay is not granted, trading in the company’s securities would be suspended on NASDAQ pending the conclusion of the hearing process.

On Sept. 21, Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP announced that it filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey on behalf of purchasers of the securities of Liquid Holdings Group issued in connection with the company’s initial public offering on or about July 25, 2013, and/or on the open market between July 26, 2013 and December 23, 2014.
