Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As previously disclosed, on April 18, 2023, Phoenix Motor Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer met the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Bid Price Rule"). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until October 16, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Common Stock must have been $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time before October 16, 2023.

 

The Company was unable to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by October 16, 2023. The Company has requested under the applicable Nasdaq listing rules for a second 180 calendar day compliance period through April 17, 2024.

 

In order to be granted the second 180 day compliance period, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, the Company is 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, including having Stockholders’ Equity of at least $5 million. After diligent review, the Company believes that it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of its publicly held shares of common stock and all other initial listing standards, including currently having Stockholders’ Equity that exceeds the $5 million minimum requirement.

 

If Nasdaq determines that the Company meets these requirements, it will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to Staff that the Company is not eligible, it will provide notice that its Common Stock will be subject to delisting.
