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

 

On March 18, 2024, African Agriculture Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from Nasdaq notifying it that the average closing bid price of the Company’s shares of common stock was below the minimum closing bid price of $1 per share during the last 30 consecutive trading days, as required for continued listing on the Nasdaq under Rule 5450(a)(1) of Nasdaq’s listing rules (the “Rules”).

 

The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock and warrants, which will continue to be listed and trade on Nasdaq subject to the Company’s continued compliance with the other listing requirements of the Rules. The Company’s securities will have an added indicator on NASDAQ.com indicating that it is non-compliant. Pursuant to the Rules, the Company has 180 days to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price (subject to additional time periods for which the Company may be eligible). The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price for its securities and explore available options to regain compliance within the proscribed time period.

 

In the event the Company does not evidence compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the 180-day grace period, it is expected that Nasdaq would notify the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may appeal such determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and it is expected that the Company’s securities would continue to be listed and available to trade on Nasdaq at least pending the completion of the appeal process. There can be no assurance that any such appeal would be successful or that the Company would be able to evidence compliance with the terms of any extension that may be granted by the Panel.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “seeks,” or other similar expressions. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that may cause the Company’s actual results to differ from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve such expectations, including regaining compliance with the Minimum Total Holders Rule during any compliance period or in the future, otherwise meeting Nasdaq compliance standards, being granted by Nasdaq any relief from delisting as necessary, or ultimately meeting applicable Nasdaq requirements for any such relief. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in information, events or circumstances after the date of this report, unless required by law.
