Release Details

MALVERN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 20, 2018-- USA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:USAT) (the “Company”), a premier digital payment, consumer engagement and logistics service provider for the self-service retail market, today announced that, as expected, it received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2018 (the “Quarterly Report”), the Company is noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”). The Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Company had previously received an original notice (the “Original Notice”) from Nasdaq of noncompliance with the Rule due to the failure of the Company to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 (the “Annual Report”). Pursuant to the Original Notice, the Company had submitted to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance (the “Plan”), and on November 13, 2018, Nasdaq notified the Company that it had accepted the Plan and had granted the Company until March 12, 2019 in order to file the Quarterly Report and the Annual Report with the SEC. The Notice also requires the Company to submit to Nasdaq an update to the Plan by no later than December 3, 2018. Neither the Notice nor the Original Notice has any immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock or preferred stock, and the common stock and preferred stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “USAT” and “USATP”, respectively.

As previously reported, the Company was unable to timely file its Annual Report and Quarterly Report due to an internal investigation being conducted by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors into certain of the Company’s contractual arrangements. The investigation remains ongoing, and the Audit Committee is working closely with its advisors to complete its investigation in as timely a manner as possible. Once the investigation has been completed, the Company plans to file the Annual Report and the Quarterly Report as soon as practicable. The Company will not be in a position to file the Annual Report or the Quarterly Report until the Company and its independent auditor assess the results of the investigation, and the Company implements any remedial actions which may be deemed necessary by the Board of Directors.
