Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

As previously disclosed, on September 29, 2023, Eightco Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) based on the closing bid price of the Company’s listed securities for the 31 consecutive business days from August 16, 2023 to September 28, 2023. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until March 27, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. On March 28, 2024, the Company received a staff determination letter (the “Staff Determination Letter”) from Nasdaq informing the Company that the Company had not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The Staff Determination Letter noted that unless the Company requested an appeal of the staff’s determination, the Company’s securities would be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

On April 9, 2024, the Company received a second staff determination letter (the “Additional Staff Determination Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that the Company was also not in compliance with a requirement of the rules for continued listing on Nasdaq that the Company maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity (the “Minimum Equity Rule”).

 

The Company has requested and been granted a hearing to appeal the staff’s determination (the “Hearing”). The Hearing has been scheduled for May 28, 2024 and Nasdaq will consider the matter of noncompliance with the Minimum Equity Rule, in addition to that of the Minimum Bid Price Rule, at such Hearing. The appeal stays the delisting of the Company’s securities, which will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market pending the appeal.

 

Neither the Staff Determination Letter nor the Additional Staff Determination Letter has any current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to resolve the deficiencies mentioned above and regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules; however, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to do so. Ultimately, if the Company is not able to resolve the deficiencies and regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company’s common stock may be delisted from Nasdaq.
