Pacific Capital shares are currently selling at 77 cents and have traded below $1 since late August. The Nasdaq issues a warning after a company’s shares have traded below the $1 minimum bid for more than 30 consecutive business days.
The Santa Barbara-based banking firm said that it intends to issue a reverse stock split in the near future, which would bring the number of outstanding shares down, and push the per-share price up, according to the Pacific Coast Business Times.
