Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 27, 2024, AmpliTech Group, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share under the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the “Listing Rules”). Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s listed securities for the last 30 consecutive business days from August 15, 2024 to September 26, 2024, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Listing Rules 5550(a)(2). The Notice is only a notification of deficiency and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Notice states that under the Listing Rules 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 26, 2025, to regain compliance under the Listing Rules. To regain compliance under the Listing Rules, the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by March 26, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance or may face delisting.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and March 26, 2025, and to evaluate its available options to regain compliance within the compliance period.
