Securities registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Act:

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

On March 26, 2024, Microvast Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from Nasdaq notifying it that the average closing bid price of the Company’s shares of common stock was below the minimum closing bid price of $1 per share during the last 30 consecutive trading days, as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Rule 5450(a)(1) of Nasdaq’s listing rules (the “Rules”).

The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock and warrants, which will continue to be listed and trade on Nasdaq subject to the Company’s continued compliance with the other listing requirements of the Rules. The Company’s securities will have an added indicator on NASDAQ.com indicating that it is non-compliant. Pursuant to the Rules, the Company has 180 days to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price (subject to additional time periods for which the Company may be eligible). The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price for its securities and explore available options to regain compliance within the proscribed time period.

In the event the Company does not evidence compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the 180-day grace period, it is expected that Nasdaq would notify the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may appeal such determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and it is expected that the Company’s securities would continue to be listed and available to trade on Nasdaq at least pending the completion of the appeal process. There can be no assurance that any such appeal would be successful or that the Company would be able to evidence compliance with the terms of any extension that may be granted by the Panel.

This Item 3.01 is filed to satisfy the obligation under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b) and Item 3.01(a) of Form 8-K that the Company make a public announcement disclosing the deficiency no later than four business days from the date of the Notice.

Forward Looking Statements

There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve such expectations, including regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule during any compliance period or in the future, otherwise meeting Nasdaq compliance standards, being granted by Nasdaq any relief from delisting as necessary, or ultimately meeting applicable Nasdaq requirements for any such relief. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in information, events or circumstances after the date of this report, unless required by law.
