Mitek Announces that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel has Granted its Request for Continued Listing Pending its Return to Compliance with the Nasdaq Filing Requirement

Mitek Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq: MITK, www.miteksystems.com, “Mitek” or the “Company”), a global leader in digital identity and digital fraud prevention, today reported that on August 16, 2023, the Company received a decision from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) granting the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) on or before October 13, 2023, and certain other conditions.

As previously disclosed, the Company received a delisting determination (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Staff initiated a process to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq as a result of the Company not being in compliance with the Listing Rule, which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). At the time, the Company had not filed its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2022 (the “Q1 Form 10-Q”) and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 (the “Q2 Form 10-Q”). The Company subsequently did not timely file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “Q3 Form 10-Q”).

The Company had previously received an exception from the Nasdaq Staff to allow the Company until June 12, 2023 (the “Compliance Deadline”) to regain compliance with the Listing Rule (which represented the maximum extension period the Staff was permitted to grant under the Nasdaq Listing Rules). As the Company did not meet the terms of the exception by the Compliance Deadline, the Company received the Notice and requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

As previously disclosed, the Company attended an August 10, 2023 hearing before the Panel and requested the continued listing of its securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending its return to compliance.

The Company has already filed the Form 10-K and intends to file the Q1 Form 10-Q, Q2 Form 10-Q, and Q3 Form 10-Q as promptly as possible in order to regain compliance with the Listing Rule.
