Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 23, 2024, Luna Innovations Incorporated (the “Company”) notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company no longer expects to file its previously disclosed delinquent periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and thereby evidence compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) by March 27, 2025, which is the maximum extension available to the Company under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. As a result, on January 3, 2025, the Company received formal notice (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq that trading in the Company’s common stock will be suspended on Nasdaq effective with the open of business on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, and, once all Nasdaq review periods have run, Nasdaq will file a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the SEC to effect the formal delisting of the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq.
Management anticipates that the Company’s shares will be eligible to trade on the OTC Markets’ Pink Limited Information tier for one business day effective with the open of business on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, and on the Expert Market tier effective with the open of business on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, and thereafter. The Expert Market only provides for unsolicited customer orders, and quotations in Expert Market securities are restricted from public viewing and are only available to certain eligible investors.
On January 3, 2025, the Company also received a delinquency notification letter from Nasdaq stating that because the Company has not held an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires listed companies hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the company’s fiscal year-end. As previously announced, the Company received earlier notices of non-compliance with respect to with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) on November 14, 2024, August 20, 2024, May 17, 2024 and April 2, 2024 because it had not yet filed its Q3 2024 Form 10-Q, Q2 2024 Form 10-Q, Q1 2024 Form 10-Q and 2023 Form 10-K, respectively.
As disclosed above, the Company’s common stock will be suspended on Nasdaq and ultimately delisted, so the Company does not intend to present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel or take any additional action.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 6, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the Company’s receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Luna Innovations Stock to Be Suspended from Nasdaq Listing ROANOKE, VA, (January 6, 2025) – Luna Innovations Incorporated (Nasdaq: LUNA) (the “Company”), a global leader in advanced fiber optic-based technology, today announced that, due to the Company’s inability to meet the March 27, 2025 deadline to file its previously disclosed delinquent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission to regain compliance, the trading in its securities will be suspended tomorrow, January 7, 2025, and subsequently delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). Following the suspension, the Company expects its shares to be eligible to trade on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, specifically the OTC Expert Market. The suspension/delisting of the Company’s stock from Nasdaq does not directly impact the Company’s business operations. The Company remains focused on its strategic alternatives and continues to support its customers, partners, and suppliers in the usual course. Kevin Ilcisin, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “While we are disappointed in the restatement process schedule delays, we are encouraged by the operational discipline and improvements by the entire Luna team since May. During the second half of 2024, we secured notable wins, underscoring our commitment to providing exceptional products and services to our customers.” Looking ahead, the Company plans to provide a broader business update later this month, including preliminary revenue and booking numbers for fiscal year 2024. About Luna Luna Innovations Incorporated (www.lunainc.com) is a leader in optical technology, providing unique capabilities in high-performance, fiber optic-based, test products for the telecommunications industry and distributed fiber optic-based sensing for a multitude of industries. Luna’s business model is designed to accelerate the process of bringing new and innovative technologies to market. Forward-Looking Statement The statements in this release that are not historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements include expectations regarding the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq and the OTC Markets, the corresponding impact on the Company’s operations and the Company’s plans regarding business
updates and strategic alternatives. Management cautions the reader that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to a number of both known and unknown risks and uncertainties, and actual results, performance, and/or achievements of the Company may differ materially from the future results, performance, and/or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors. These factors include, without limitation, risks associated with being moved to the OTC Markets’ “Expert Market” tier and risks and uncertainties set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, as well as in subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Such filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on Luna’s website at www.lunainc.com. The statements made in this release are based on information available to Luna as of the date of this release and Luna undertakes no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this release.
