Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On June 13, 2019, IZEA Worldwide, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that, for the prior 30 consecutive business days (through June 12, 2019), the closing bid price of the Company’s listed securities had been below the minimum of $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification letter stated that the Company would be afforded 180 calendar days (until December 10, 2019) to regain compliance. In order to regain compliance, the Company’s closing bid price must remain at $1.00 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. The notification letter also states that in the event the Company does not regain compliance within the 180 day period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 days to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq staff will provide notice to the Company that its securities will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel, but there can be no assurance that the Company's request for continued listing would be granted.  

The Nasdaq notification has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company’s common stock and the stock will continue to trade uninterrupted under the symbol “IZEA”. The Company intends to consider all available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing standards.
