ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS
On July 22, 2024, Minim, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Office of General Counsel, stating that the Company’s appeal to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Panel”) of the Nasdaq Listings Qualification staff’s (the “Staff”) delist determination dated June 26, 2024, for the Company’s failure to maintain compliance with the equity requirement in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) had been abandoned. However, the Company has not abandoned its request for a hearing. Due to a clerical error, the Company was unaware of the passage of the time required to provide a written submission prior to the oral hearing in front of the Panel, until July 23, 2024. Therefore, the Company immediately filed a submission in support of an appeal to the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council regarding the future delisting of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq and the Company is currently awaiting a decision. The Company strongly believes that such appeal should be granted, and that the delisting action referenced in the Staff’s determination letter, dated June 26, 2024, should continue to remain stayed, pending a final written decision by the Panel, due to the Company’s particular circumstances. Following such appeal, and in anticipation of being granted an oral hearing in front of the Panel, the Company has put in place a plan (the “Plan”) to regain compliance with the terms of the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) and has delivered such Plan to the Panel.
On July 24, 2024, the Company’s securities trading was suspended on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) effective with the open of business on July 24, 2024, at which point the Company’s common stock was eligible to trade on the OTC Market’s Pink Current Information. Please note that the Company’s securities trading has merely been suspended on Nasdaq at this time, not delisted. It will not be delisted unless and until Nasdaq files a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission after all internal procedural periods have run.
Also on July 22, 2024, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, entered into a securities purchase agreement with Yihucha Technology Co., Ltd. (“Yihucha”) to sell his (i) 627,187 shares of common stock, (ii) 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and (iii) warrants to purchase up to an additional 2,800,000 shares of common stock to Yihucha. Such sale is in furtherance of the Plan and intended to assist the Company in regaining compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. The foregoing description of the Share Transfer Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Share Transfer Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
