Exhibit 99.1
OnDeck Receives NYSE Continued Listing Standard Notice
OnDeck Notifies NYSE of Intent to Comply with Listing Standards
NEW YORK – June 5, 2020 – OnDeck® (NYSE: ONDK), the leader in online lending to small business, announced that it received notice from the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE, that the Company does not meet an NYSE continued listing standard that requires the Company to maintain a minimum average closing price of $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days.
The Company notified the NYSE of its intent to cure the deficiency and return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing requirements and is evaluating options to do so. Under the NYSE's rules, the cure period traditionally extends for six months following receipt of the notification. However, the NYSE has extended the cure period relating to this listing standard to January 1, 2021, in recognition of unprecedented market declines resulting from COVID-19.
The Company can regain compliance if, by the end of the cure period, OnDeck common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the preceding 30 trading-day period. Alternatively, the Company can also demonstrate an accelerated cure based on a $1.00 share price on both the last trading day of any calendar month within the cure period and the average share price of the 30-trading days preceding the end of that month.
During the cure period, the Company's common shares will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “ONDK” but will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate the status of the shares as “below compliance” subject to compliance with other continued listing requirements.
The notice does not affect the Company's business operations, or its Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements, and does not cause an event of default under any of the Company's debt agreements.
