Comstock Holding Companies Announces Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Standards

10/13/2015

WASHINGTON & RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Comstock Holding Companies, Inc. (NASDAQ:CHCI) today announced that it has been notified by the Nasdaq Stock Market that it has regained compliance with certain applicable Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing standards.

The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department had previously notified Comstock that it was not in compliance with the minimum $2.5 million stockholders' equity requirement. On June 26, 2015, Comstock raised through a private offering an aggregate amount of $2.5 million, bringing its stockholders equity as reported on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2015 to $3.5 million. As a result of this private placement, as of June 30, 2015, total equity was above the $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Comstock was notified on October 7, 2015 by Nasdaq that the Company was in compliance with its rule and the matter was thus closed.

The Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department had also previously notified Comstock that it did not comply with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days. From September 28, 2015 to October 9, 2015, following a reverse stock split authorized at the company's annual shareholder meeting, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock was at $1.00 per share or greater for ten consecutive business days. Comstock was notified by Nasdaq on October 12, 2015 that it had regained compliance and the matter was thus closed.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Christopher Clemente commented, "We are pleased that, as anticipated, Comstock has regained compliance with all Nasdaq listing standards. Continued listing on the Nasdaq benefits our shareholders by making the company's stock more attractive to the financial community. It also facilitates our continuing focus on achieving the growth and scale Comstock needs to deliver positive results."
