(NASDAQ: AFH) (“Atlas” or the “Company”) today announced that it received a delinquency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on August 18, 2020 due to the Company’s non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) as a result of the Company’s failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 (the “Q2 Form 10-Q”).
