As previously announced, RCI had submitted a plan on July 16, 2019 to Nasdaq detailing plans to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as it had not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended March 31, 2019. As a result of this additional delinquency, the company must submit no later than August 27, 2019 an update to its original plan to regain compliance with respect to the filing requirement. If the updated plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant RCI an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the second quarter 10-Q's due date, or until November 6, 2019, to regain compliance.

RCI intends to regain compliance and file its 10‑Qs as soon as practicable. Nasdaq's letter has no immediate effect on the listing of RCI common stock.
