Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
As previously reported, on January 23, 2025, Hyzon Motors Inc. (the “Company”) received a determination letter (the “Delisting Notification”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Nasdaq staff (“Staff”) determined, in accordance with Listing Rules 5101 and 5110(b) and Nasdaq Listing Rule IM 5101-1, that the Company’s securities, including its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and public warrants with each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $575.00 per share (the “Warrants”), will be delisted from Nasdaq. The Delisting Notification indicated that the Staff’s determination was based on, among other items, the Company’s previously announced Plan of Dissolution to which the Company is asking its stockholders to approve at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, which such meeting was adjourned to February 27, 2025, and associated public interest concerns raised by such request. Also as previously reported, per the Delisting Notification, the Company’s securities were suspended at the opening of business on January 30, 2025.
On February 18, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company determined to initiate the delisting of the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Common Stock and Warrants under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company provided notice to Nasdaq that it intends to file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about March 4, 2025 to effect the delisting of the Common Stock and Warrants from Nasdaq and to deregister the Common Stock and Warrants under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. The removal of the Common Stock and Warrants from Nasdaq will be effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25. Following the removal of the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants from Nasdaq, the Company intends to file a Form 15 with the SEC to deregister the Common Stock and Warrants under Sections 12(g) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the filing of the Form 15, the Company’s duty to file any reports required under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act will immediately be suspended, including the obligations to file all periodic reports.
Following the delisting and deregistration of the Common Stock and Warrants, the Company expects that the Common Stock will be traded on a market operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTC”). No assurances can be provided, however, that trading of the Common Stock on the OTC will occur.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On February 20, 2025, the Company issued a press release regarding the delisting and deregistration of its Common Stock and Warrants. The press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.

Hyzon Announces Delisting from Nasdaq and EXPECTED SEC Deregistration
BOLINGBROOK, Ill., February 20, 2025 – Hyzon Motors Inc. (“Hyzon” or the “Company”), a U.S.-based, high-performance, hydrogen fuel cell system manufacturer and technology developer focused on providing zero-emission power to decarbonize the most demanding industries, today announced that it has provided notification to The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) of its intent to delist the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and its publicly-traded warrants with each whole warrant exercisable for one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $575.00 per share (the “Warrants”), from the Nasdaq Capital Market. Hyzon expects to file a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and Nasdaq relating to the delisting of its Common Stock and Warrants on or about March 4, 2025. The removal of the Common Stock and Warrants from Nasdaq will be effective 10 days after the filing of the Form 25.
Following the delisting, the Company expects that the Common Stock will be traded on a market operated by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTC”). No assurances can be provided, however, that trading of the Common Stock on the OTC will occur.
In view of the Nasdaq’s delisting of the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants, the Company’s Board of Directors (“Board”) has undertaken a determination to deregister the Company with the SEC, having determined that both the delisting and deregistration are in the best interests of the Company and the holders of its Common Stock and Warrants.
The Board’s decision was based on careful review of numerous factors, including the potential for limiting the significant costs associated with preparing and filing periodic reports with the SEC and the legal, audit and other expenses associated with being a reporting company, as well as the substantial costs and demands on management’s time under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC rules and Nasdaq listing standards.
On January 23, 2025, the Company received a determination letter (the “Delisting Notification”) from Nasdaq stating that the Nasdaq staff (“Staff”) determined, in accordance with Listing Rules 5101 and 5110(b) and Nasdaq Listing Rule IM 5101-1, that the Common Stock and Warrants, will be delisted from Nasdaq. The Delisting Notification indicated that the Staff’s determination was based on, among other items, the Company’s previously announced Plan of Dissolution to which the Company is asking its stockholders to approve at a Special Meeting of Stockholders, which is to be reconvened after it was adjourned, to be held on February 27, 2025 at 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time and associated public interest concerns raised by such request. Per the Delisting Notification, the Company’s securities were suspended from trading on Nasdaq at the opening of business on January 30, 2025.
