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

As previously disclosed in a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the “Form 12b-25”) filed by Sonder Holdings Inc. (the “Company” or “Sonder”) on March 15, 2024, the Company is delayed in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

On April 2, 2024, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the Company is delinquent in filing its 2023 Form 10-K, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), which requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock or publicly traded warrants on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company has 60 calendar days after the Notice to submit a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) to Nasdaq addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, and Nasdaq has the discretion to grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the 2023 Form 10-K, or September 30, 2024, to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit the Plan and take the necessary steps to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules as soon as practicable.

As previously disclosed, the filing of the 2023 Form 10-K was delayed due to the matters described in the Form 12b-25 and the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2024. While the Company can provide no assurances as to timing, the Company will continue to work diligently to complete and file the 2023 Form 10-K as soon as practicable.

Item 7.01     Regulation FD Disclosure

On April 5, 2024, the Company issued a press release disclosing the receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is being furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information furnished in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
