TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — INdigital, a leading Next Generation 911 solutions provider, has deployed its emergency response team to Florida ahead of Hurricane Milton. The team, including technicians, MEVO coordinators, chief information officer, Florida market manager, and Florida service manager, will be stationed throughout Florida, ready to assist Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) facing potential service disruptions. Equipped with MEVO Anywhere Kits and over twenty Starlink units, INdigital is prepared to restore critical 911 services in areas impacted by the hurricane.

In addition to on-the-ground support, INdigital is maintaining constant communication with its customers, holding calls twice daily to answer questions and provide guidance throughout the week. “We’re doing everything we can to assist our partners during this critical time,” said Eric Hartman, Vice President at INdigital. “We aim to ensure PSAPs are supported in real-time and can serve their communities no matter what.”

The deployment of INdigital’s MEVO Anywhere Kits, along with Starlink satellite internet, offers a resilient solution for 911 centers in affected areas. The MEVO Anywhere Kit is a mobile, IP-based call-handling system that ensures emergency services can continue receiving and processing 911 calls, even in remote or heavily impacted regions. This technology enables full functionality for PSAPs, including location services, mapping, administrative calls, and essential features like call transfer and conferencing. Starlink’s connectivity is crucial in regions where traditional communication lines may be down, ensuring that PSAPs remain operational. NG911 technology plays a pivotal role by allowing this flexibility, enabling real-time data, voice, and video transmission during emergencies.

“Our MEVO Anywhere Kits give PSAPs the ability to operate even in extreme conditions,” said Caleb Branch, VP of Market Management at INdigital. “We’ve deployed everything necessary to support uninterrupted 911 services, with our NSOC team on standby to ensure smooth transitions.”

Bob Brown, CIO at INdigital, emphasized the role of NG911 technology: “Next Generation 911 allows for more robust, flexible systems, and this hurricane response highlights why the switch to NG911 is so critical. The enhanced capabilities ensure 911 services can continue without interruption, providing a lifeline during emergencies.”

As Hurricane Milton approaches, INdigital is fully prepared to support PSAPs in need. Together, we can ensure that every citizen continues to have access to life-saving emergency services.

MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Primis Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: FRST) (“Primis” or the “Company”) today provided an update on its delinquent filings and process for regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements. On October 4, 2024, Primis filed its restated Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and anticipates filing is Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 on October 11, 2024. The Company is also working diligently to complete its delayed Form 10-Q filings and is targeting filing those by October 31, 2024 at which point the Company will have regained compliance with Nasdaq listing standards. As detailed further below, Primis shares continue to be traded on Nasdaq and the Company does not anticipate any changes in its listing status prior to completion of its filings.

As previously disclosed, Primis was granted a 180-day “exception period” by Nasdaq to complete its delayed filings and regain compliance with Nasdaq listing requirements with the “exception period” expiring on September 30, 2024. While the Company is making progress on its filings, as evidenced by the filing of its restated Form 10-K for 2022 and imminent filing of Form 10-K for 2023, the Company was unable to complete the delayed filings by September 30, 2024. As expected, on October 3, 2024, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that the Company’s shares may be delisted due to continued noncompliance with Nasdaq listing rules. On October 8, 2024, the Company appealed Nasdaq’s determination in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and requested a hearing (the “Hearing Request”) before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) which normally take places 30 to 45 days from the filing of the appeal. The Hearing Request automatically stayed any suspension of trading through October 23, 2024, and the Company further requested that the temporary stay be extended until the Panel issues a final decision on the matter. The Company believes that it satisfies the standards for the granting of such an extended stay and does not anticipate that the Company’s securities will be suspended or delisted as a result of the Notice.

Nasdaq listing rules require the Company to disclose the specific basis for the Notice, namely the Company’s noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company did not file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Q1 Form 10-Q”) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 ( the “Q2 Form 10-Q” and, together with the Q1 Form 10-Q, the “Form 10-Qs”) before the expiration of the 180-day “exception period” that was previously granted by Nasdaq. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.  As detailed above, the Company continues to work diligently to complete and file the Form 10-K and Form 10-Qs and to regain compliance with the Listing Rules in the near future.
