Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On November 6, 2023, micromobility.com Inc. (the “Company”) received an additional written notice of determination of delisting (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq ”) notifying the Company that, based on the composition of its board of directors, the Company did not comply with the audit committee requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) (the “Rule”). The Rule requires a listed company to maintain an audit committee of the board of directors that is comprised of at least three independent directors, as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) (together with the Rule, the "Board Independence Rule").
The Notice states that the Company’s failure to satisfy the Board Independence Rule serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s listed securities and notifies the Company that the Nasdaq hearings panel (the “Panel”) will consider this deficiency in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing of its Common Stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In this regard, Nasdaq has requested- and the Company intends to present-its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Panel in writing prior to November 13, 2023.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company is monitoring the composition of its board of directors and considering candidates to achieve compliance.
The Notice does not signify imminent delisting and has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market, however the Company believes that if its Common Stock were to be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market, its warrants that are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol MCOMW would be concurrently delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
On November 9, 2023, the Company received a determination from the Panel granting the Company’s request for the continued listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, subject to the Company evidencing compliance with all applicable criteria for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, and certain other interim conditions. The Company is diligently working to timely evidence compliance with the terms of the Panel’s decision, which will include seeking shareholder approval for the implementation of a reverse stock split and satisfaction of Nasdaq continued listing rules including the bid price, and market value of listed securities rules by December 29, 2023. Additionally, the company is working to satisfy audit committee rule by December 1, 2023, pursuant to the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurances, however, that the Company will be able to satisfy the foregoing criteria for continued listing. Further, the Panel also advised it reserves the right to reconsider the terms of the foregoing based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market inadvisable or unwarranted.
As previously disclosed, on August 4, 2023, the Company was notified by the Staff of Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel which the Company did. The Staff’s determination was based upon the Company evidencing: a closing bid price of less than $1.00 per share, a market value of listed securities of less than $15 million and audit committee composition of less than three independent directors, in contravention of Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) and (b)(2), and 5605(c)(2) respectively. The Panel’s November 9, 2023 decision as outlined above is the result of such hearing.
On November 9, 2023,micrmobility.com Inc. announced via press release, the results of the determination of the Panel titled “Micromobility.com Inc. Granted Extension for Continued Listing on Nasdaq”. A copy of the press release is attached hereto.
