Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously stated on Minim Inc.’s (the “Company’s”) Current Reports on Form 8-K, dated August 26, 2024, September 9, 2024, and October 7, 2024, the Company filed for, and on August 20, 2024, was granted a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) by the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Kings County (the “State Court”). The application for the TRO was filed by the Company in order to prohibit The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) from delisting the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq. The TRO was effective until September 5, 2024. On August 20, 2024, following the State Court’s grant of the TRO, Nasdaq removed the case to federal court. On September 4, 2024, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York remanded the case to the State Court. On September 5, 2024, the parties entered into a stipulation which was ordered by the State Court on September 6, 2024, to extend the TRO until September 30, 2024, at which point oral arguments were to be heard by the State Court.
That TRO continued until, on October 18, 2024, the Court denied the request by the Company for a preliminary injunction enjoining the Nasdaq from taking further action to delist the Company. The Company subsequently, on October 22, 2024 discontinued its case against the Nasdaq, without prejudice. On October 23, 2024, the Nasdaq issued a press release announcing that it will delist the Company’s common stock and file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). On October 24, 2024, the Nasdaq filed a Form 25 with the SEC, announcing its determination to remove from listing the securities of the Company, effective at the opening of the trading session on November 4, 2024, stating, inter alia, that Nasdaq filed the Form 25 pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5830 because all available review and appeal procedures and periods available to the Company under Nasdaq Rules have expired.
The Company vigorously disputes the certifications included by Nasdaq in its Form 25 regarding Minim’s delisting, as the Company believes it was not allowed any review and appeal procedures available under the Nasdaq Rules. On October 25, 2024, the Company filed with the SEC an appeal to review, pursuant to 15 U.S.C.S. § 78s(d), the October 24, 2024 decision of Nasdaq to delist the Company’s securities and to deny the Company the right to a hearing on such delisting, by incorrectly deeming the Company’s appeal abandoned, and then denying the Company the right to appeal Nasdaq’s decision deeming the Company’s right to a hearing as abandoned requests. In conjunction with the submission of this appeal, the Company also submitted to the SEC a motion for an emergency stay of the delisting, pursuant to the SEC’s Rule of Practice 401.
