| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On September 20, 2022, NuZee, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Common Stock”), which continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “NUZE.”
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until March 20, 2023, to regain compliance. If at any time before March 20, 2023 the closing bid price of the Common Stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, NASDAQ will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, and the matter will be resolved.
If the Company does not regain compliance during the compliance period ending March 20, 2023, then NASDAQ may in its discretion determine to grant the Company an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance, provided that the Company on March 20, 2023 meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and will need to provide NASDAQ written notice of its intent to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.
If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period or periods, including any extensions that NASDAQ may determine to grant, NASDAQ will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a NASDAQ hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance or maintain compliance with the other NASDAQ listing requirements.
