Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 25, 2023, Alpine Summit Energy Partners, Inc. (the "Company") received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company's Class A subordinate voting shares has been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). The Nasdaq deficiency letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's Class A subordinate voting shares, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol "ALPS".
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until November 21, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before November 21, 2023, the bid price of the Company's Class A subordinate voting shares closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance.
The Company intends to monitor the bid price of its Class A subordinate voting shares and consider available options if its Class A subordinate voting shares do not trade at a level likely to result in the Company regaining compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price rule by November 21, 2023, including such options as effecting a reverse stock split.
If the Company does not regain compliance by November 21, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Global Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, for example, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such a notification, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to delist its securities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be eligible for the additional 180 calendar day compliance period, if applicable, or that the Staff would grant the Company's request for continued listing subsequent to any delisting notification.
