Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 1, 2024, Biotricity Inc. (the “Company”), received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Capital Market LLC (the “Nasdaq Capital Market”) stating that Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) has determined to delist the Company’s common stock, and pursuant to which the trading of the Company’s securities was suspended at the open of business on August 5, 2024.
As previously reported, on August 4, 2023, Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) notified the Company that it no longer complied with the minimum $35 million market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) required for continued listing as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until January 29, 2024, to regain compliance with MLVS. The deadline, on a further appeal to the Panel, was extended to July 29, 2024.
In connection with the Nasdaq delisting notice, Nasdaq will complete the delisting by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) after applicable appeal periods have lapsed. In the interim, the Company expects its common stock will be eligible for quotation on the OTC Pink Market under its existing symbol, “BTCY.”
The Company has 15 days after the date it received notice of the Panel’s decision to request that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council review the decision, or the Council may, on its own motion, determine to review the Panel’s decision within 45 calendar days after the Company was notified of the decision.
The Company has submitted an application to the OTCQB for quotation of its common stock, and plans to continue to file its required periodic reports and other filings with the SEC.
