The Company intends to fully cooperate with the NYSE American and submit its Plan within the prescribed timeframe. “We are confident that the financial progress we expect from our ongoing revenue growth initiatives and cost management measures will enable us to meet the NYSE American’s continued listing standards within the prescribed timeframe,” stated Eric Hines, Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific. “Our team remains focused on execution, operational efficiency, and delivering long-term value to our shareholders.” The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “MLSS” while it works to regain compliance, subject to periodic review by the Exchange.
