Question#1: SEC form NT 10-K was filed saying, Biostage (BSTG) “could not complete the filing of its Form 10-K for the period ended 12/31/2020 due to disruptions in staffing… delaying their ability to obtain and compile the information required to be included in the Form 10-K, which delay could not be eliminated … without unreasonable effort and expense.

The top U.S. securities regulator have adopted measures that would kick foreign companies off American stock exchanges if they do not comply with U.S. auditing standards, and require them to disclose any governmental affiliations.

  • The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act, signed into law by then-President Donald Trump in December, is aimed at removing Chinese companies from U.S. exchanges if they have failed to comply with American auditing standards for three years in a row.
  • The rules also require firms prove to the SEC they are not owned or controlled by an entity of a foreign government and to name any board members who are Chinese Communist Party officials, the SEC said in a statement.
