VerifyMe Inc. (NASDAQ:VRME) said it has returned to compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price rule, a development that coincided with a 3.5% uptick in the company’s stock during Monday premarket trading.
Nasdaq has issued formal notice confirming that VerifyMe met the exchange requirement that a company maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. According to the company's announcement, the closing bid price was at or above $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days from January 13 through January 29, 2026. That stretch enabled VerifyMe to preserve its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The company had previously been alerted on December 12, 2025, that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price standard. At that time, VerifyMe had failed to keep its share price at $1.00 or higher over a 30-consecutive-business-day period, a requirement set out in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
Commenting on the notice of compliance, Adam Stedham, Chief Executive Officer and President of VerifyMe, said: "We are pleased to have regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement in a timely manner. We remain focused on executing our strategy and driving long-term value for our shareholders."
VerifyMe provides brand protection and enhancement services alongside specialized logistics offerings for time and temperature-sensitive products. The company continues to trade under the ticker symbol VRME on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
