Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure 

 

On June 11, 2024, Recruiter.com Group, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that on June 6, 2024, the Company was formally notified by Nasdaq that it had evidenced full compliance with all requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, including the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, as described in Item 8.01 below.  A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events. 

 

As previously reported on August 22, 2023, the Company received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on August 17, 2023, notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) because (i) its stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 was not at least $2,500,000 and (ii) the Company did not currently meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.  The Staff granted the Company’s request for an extension until February 13, 2024, to comply with this requirement.  However, the Company failed to meet the terms of the extension, and on February 16, 2024, Staff sent a Delist Determination.  

 

On February 21, 2024, the Company submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Department. The hearing request stayed the delisting of the Company’s securities pending the panel’s conclusion of the hearing process.  The hearing was held on April 18, 2024, and by decision dated May 9, 2024, the Panel granted the Company an extension to evidence compliance with all applicable continued listing criteria, through May 20, 2024.

 

On June 6, 2024, the Company was formally notified by Nasdaq that it had evidenced full compliance with all requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, including the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

 

The Company remains subject to a “Panel Monitor” as that term is defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A), through June 6, 2025. Under the terms of the Panel Monitor, in the event the Company fails to satisfy any requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market during the monitoring period, the Company will be required to request a hearing before the Panel in order to maintain its listing rather than taking the interim step of submitting a compliance plan for the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff’s (the “Staff”) review or receiving any otherwise applicable grace period.
