Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 18, 2023, Agrify Corporation (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on April 17, 2023, the Company’s audit committee concluded that, as a result of inadvertent errors in the accounting for warrants previously issued by the Company, it was appropriate to restate the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for such periods in amended quarterly reports for the affected periods (the “Amended 10-Qs”). Given the scope of the process for preparing the Amended 10-Qs, the Company was unable to complete and file the Form 10-K by the required due date of March 31, 2023. On March 31, 2023, the Company filed a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing with the SEC related to the Form 10-K.
The Notice states that the Company has 60 calendar days from April 18, 2023, or until June 20, 2023, to regain compliance by filing the Form 10-K or to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
The Company intends to file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable within the 60-day required period. If the Company is unable to file the Form 10-K by June 20, 2023, the Company intends to submit a plan with Nasdaq to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may, in its discretion, grant the Company up to 180 days from the prescribed due date for filing the Form 10-K, or until October 16, 2023, to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 24, 2023, the Company issued a press release disclosing the receipt of the Notice referenced above. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information furnished herein, including Exhibit 99.1, is not deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section. This information will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except to the extent that the registrant specifically incorporates them by reference.
