Compliance and Stock Price - The NYSE notified ChargePoint of its noncompliance, which does not immediately affect trading or lead to delisting [2]. - ChargePoint plans to notify the NYSE by March 5 of its intention to regain compliance, with a six-month period to raise its share price above $1 and maintain an average closing price of $1 over a 30-day trading period [3]. Strategies for Compliance - ChargePoint is considering several options to increase its stock price, including a potential reverse stock split, which would reduce the share count while raising the share price without affecting market capitalization [4].
