SunPower Corporation (NASDAQ:SPWR) shares are trading lower Tuesday. The company announced it received a Nasdaq delisting notification on Monday.
The Details:
The delisting is a result of SunPower's failure to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules after filing voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and failure to file periodic financial reports.
Trading in the company's stock on Nasdaq will be suspended on Aug. 16, 2024. As a result, the company's common stock is expected to commence trading on the Pink Open Market, commonly referred to as the "pink sheets."
Last week, the struggling solar company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware and disclosed an asset purchase agreement with Complete Solaria, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSLR) in which Complete Solaria will acquire SunPower's Blue Raven Solar business, New Homes business, and non-installing Dealer network.
