- BNB Plus (BNBX) announced a strategic review to maximize shareholder value, considering options like M&A and asset sales. The company's treasury is valued at $12.2 million. However, it faces potential Nasdaq delisting due to non-compliance with minimum bid price requirements. The strategic review and delisting uncertainty create slight negative pressure.
BNB Plus Corp. (BNBX) announced its board of directors has authorized a review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value, according to a company statement.
The digital asset treasury company is considering options including mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, joint ventures and additional capital raising transactions. The company said it is focusing on sectors with potential for high growth, including artificial intelligence infrastructure, digital infrastructure, critical domestic raw materials, defense technologies and healthcare.
As of April 18, the company’s treasury had a value of approximately $12.2 million, representing approximately 3.4 times its current market capitalization. The company has implemented an active yield-generation strategy on its BNB token holdings.
"Our Board is committed to maximizing value for our shareholders," said Clay Shorrock, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We believe this process will help us assess a range of options available to the Company and determine the most appropriate path forward for the Company and its shareholders."
BNB Plus has retained Lucid Capital Markets as its financial advisor for the strategic review process. The company stated it does not intend to provide updates until its board approves a specific transaction or determines disclosure is required by law.
The company also provided an update on its Nasdaq listing status. On March 20, BNB Plus received notice from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department that it no longer satisfies the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing. Nasdaq determined the company is ineligible for a standard compliance period due to a reverse stock split within the prior year.
BNB Plus has requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to address the deficiency. The company’s common stock will continue trading on Nasdaq through the conclusion of the hearing process.
