Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 23, 2022, Bannix Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s shares on Nasdaq. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 days from the prescribed due date for filing the Form 10-K to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Company is working diligently and expects to file the Form 10-Q within the 60-day period described above, which would eliminate the need for the Company to submit a formal plan to regain compliance.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On August 26, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

EXHIBIT 99.1
BANNIX ACQUISITION CORP. RECEIVES NASDAQ NOTIFICATION OF
NON-COMPLIANCE WITH LISTING RULES
Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, August 26, 2022 — Bannix Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: BNIX) (“Bannix” or the “Company”), a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, announced that on August 23, 2022, it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) advising the Company that the Company did not comply with NASDAQ’s Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for continued listing because NASDAQ had not received the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 (the “Form 10-Q”).
NASDAQ informed the Company that it has 60 days from the date of the letter to submit a plan to regain compliance with respect to this delinquent report. If NASDAQ approves the Company’s plan, it has the discretion to grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-Q, or until February 20, 2023, to regain compliance.
The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-Q and certain other amended reports. If the Company is unable to file the Form 10-Q by October 24, 2022, it intends to file a plan to regain compliance with NASDAQ. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on NASDAQ. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to file Form 10-Q by October 24, 2022, regain compliance with the listing requirements discussed above or otherwise satisfy the other NASDAQ listing criteria.
