When is BioSig expected to receive final NASDAQ approval and could any delays impact the merger timeline?
Timeline for final NASDAQ approval
The filing notes that ProposalâŻNo.âŻ1 (the acquisition of Streamex Exchange Corp.) will be âadjourned pending final NASDAQ approval.â In practice, âfinal approvalâ on a NASDAQâlisted shareholderâvote typically follows the SECâs 30âday waiting period and the exchangeâs own review, which together amount to roughly 4â6âŻweeks after the ScheduleâŻ14A is filed. Given that BioSigâs clarification was issued this week, the market can reasonably expect the final NASDAQ clearance to arrive by midâlateâŻOctoberâŻ2025, assuming no substantive regulatory or pricing issues arise.
Impact of a potential delay
The company explicitly states that âoperations, financings and closing of the merger transaction remain not impacted,â indicating that the merger agreement contains âclosingâwithoutâNASDâapprovalâ language and that the parties have already secured the necessary binding terms. Consequently, a shortâterm postponement of the final NASDAQ vote would not push back the legal closing date of the merger; the deal can still close on the agreed timeline once the vote is formally counted. However, any extension beyond the 4â6âweek window adds a risk premium to the stock. In the near term, the market will price in a âdelayâriskâ component, manifesting as modest upsideâdownside volatility (ââŻ2â3âŻ% range) until the NASDAQ confirmation is announced. Traders should therefore monitor:
*âŻSEC filings (Form DEF 14A, proxy statement) for the exact voting calendar.
*âŻNASDAQâs public bulletin for any notice of additional review or comment periods.
Trading implication
If the final approval arrives on schedule (midâOctober), the mergerâcompletion narrative should drive the BIOT stock toward the upside of the current consolidation pattern, with technical support near the recent 20âday moving average (ââŻ$1.12) and resistance at the prior swingâhigh (ââŻ$1.18). Should the NASDAQ approval be delayed beyond the 6âweek horizon, expect a shortâterm sellâoff to the movingâaverage support, followed by a bounce once a new approval date is disclosed. A prudent approach is to hold a modest long position with a tight stop just below $1.09 and consider a partial profitâtake if the stock tests the $1.18 resistance after the approval is confirmed.
