Monster Digital Receives Requested Extension from Nasdaq Panel

SIMI VALLEY, CA, Dec. 12, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Monster Digital, Inc. (MSDI) (the “Company” or “Monster Digital”) announced today that on December 11, 2017, it was notified by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") granted the Company's request for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to an extension through January 3, 2018. The January 3rd date is the outside date for the closing of the Company’s proposed reverse merger with Innovate Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Innovate”). The Panel’s granting of the Company’s request for continued listing was subject to the condition that on or before January 3, 2018, the Company must inform the Panel that it has received approval of the combined company’s initial listing application from Listing Qualifications Staff and closed the reverse merger with Innovate.

The Panel's determination follows an in-person hearing before the Panel attended by representatives of each of Monster Digital and Innovate. At the hearing, the Panel considered whether to allow Monster Digital as a non-compliant company to remain listed while it works toward the reverse merger. The Panel determined that based on the pro-forma balance sheet and representations of the Company and Innovate regarding the status of capital raising efforts, it appeared that the post-merger entity will meet the quantitative requirements for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market by the time it closes the transaction. In order to fully comply with the terms of this exception, the combined company must be able to demonstrate compliance with all requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market. In the event the combined company is unable to do so, the Company’s securities may be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market.
