Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On May 23, 2023, SharpLink Gaming Ltd. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is no longer in compliance with the equity standard for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 under the equity standard. Because the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 reported stockholders’ equity of $1,489,034, and as of May 22, 2023 the Company does not meet the alternative standards for market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule.
Nasdaq has provided the Company with 45 calendar days, or until July 7, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to regain compliance with the minimum required stockholders’ equity. If the Nasdaq staff does not accept the Company’s plan of compliance, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Notice has no effect on the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares, and the ordinary shares will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol “SBET.”
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
