Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on For 8-K filed by Agrify Corporation (the “Company”) on December 6, 2023, on December 1, 2023, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $(17.17) million in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 30, 2023, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), which requires that listed companies maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity. In response, the Company timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which request stayed any further action by the Listing Qualifications Staff. The hearing was held on January 11, 2024. The Company arrived at the hearing having previously cured an additional grounds for delisting as a result of delinquent periodic filings during 2023 that were filed prior to the hearing.
On January 30, 2024, the Company received formal notice that the Panel had granted the Company’s request for an exception through April 15, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Listing Rule.
The compliance date of April 15, 2024 represents the full extent of the Panel’s discretion to grant continued listing while the Company is non-compliant with Nasdaq Listing Rules. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules or maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company’s common stock is delisted, it could be more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s common stock or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s common stock could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair the Company’s ability to raise capital.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On January 30, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Panel had granted the Company’s request for an exception through April 15, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Listing Rule. A copy of this press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
