Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 1, 2024, Upexi, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Nasdaq Bid Price Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, for thirty consecutive business days prior to the date thereof, the bid price for the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until September 30, 2024, to regain compliance (the “Compliance Period”). As of the date of this report, the Common Stock has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
In the event the Company does not regain compliance within the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of the Company’s intention to cure the deficiency during said second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting.
The Nasdaq Bid Price Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Common Stock. The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the bid price for its shares of Common Stock between now and the expiration of the Compliance Period and will consider all available options to resolve the deficiency including a reverse stock split, if necessary, with every intention to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
In the event the Company receives notification from Nasdaq that the Common Stock is subject to delisting, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq staff’s determination before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, in the event of such appeal, the Panel would grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
