Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on April 11, 2023, the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notified Nxu, Inc. (the “Company”) that it failed to satisfy the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for the previous 30-consecutive business days and, in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company had been granted a 180-calendar day grace period, through October 9, 2023, to regain compliance. The Company is not eligible for a second 180-day grace period because it does not comply with the $5 million initial listing requirement for Nasdaq.
On October 10, 2023, the Company received formal notice from the Staff that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as of October 9, 2023, the Company’s Class A common stock will be scheduled for delisting from Nasdaq and will be suspended at the opening of business on October 19, 2023, unless the Company requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on October 17, 2023. The Company plans to timely request a hearing before the Panel, which request will stay the suspension of the Company’s Class A common stock. At the hearing, the Company will present a plan to the Panel that includes a discussion of the events that it believes will enable it to regain compliance.
Additionally, as previously disclosed, on August 29, 2023, Staff notified the Company that it failed to comply with Nasdaq’s $2,500,000 minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”). The Company intends to address its noncompliance with the Equity Rule at the hearing before the Panel as well.
There can be no assurance that the appeal will be successful, that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will evidence compliance within any extension period that may be granted by the Panel.
