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

 

Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) has received a delisting notice from Nasdaq that may be remedied by a planned corporate action.

 

On June 11, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as notified by Nasdaq on December 12, 2023, the bid price of the Company’s listed security had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until June 10, 2024, to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company has not regained compliance with the Rule and is not eligible for a second 180-day remediation period. Specifically, the Company does not comply with the $5,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market under the Equity Standard. Accordingly, unless the Company requests an appeal by June 18, 2024, of this determination, Nasdaq has determined that the Company’s securities will be scheduled for delisting from Nasdaq and will be suspended at the opening of business on June 21, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Delisting Determination”).

 

The Company will appeal the Delisting Determination on or before June 18th by requesting a hearing before the Panel to stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE with the SEC. There are no assurances a favorable decision from the Panel will be obtained.

 

Following receipt of stockholder approval at its annual shareholders’ meeting on May 15, 2024, the Company expects to submit an application to Nasdaq prior to June 21st to effect a 1-for-20 reverse split of its common stock (the “Reverse Split”). Pending Nasdaq’s approval, the Company expects the Reverse Split to become effective prior to June 28th. The Company will issue a press release with further information at least two business days prior to the effective date of the Reverse Split. If the Reverse Split is approved by Nasdaq, the Company believes that the Delisting Determination will be withdrawn and there will be no need for a hearing. There are no assurances that the Reverse Split will be effected in a timely manner or at all.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On June 17, 2024, the Company issued a press release related to the information described in Item 3.01 above (the “Press Release”). A copy of the Press Release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

The information set forth in Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Connexa Applies for Imminent 1:20 Reverse Split
to Remedy Bid Price Delisting Notice

● Reverse Split Expected to take place on or about June 28, 2024

● Upon receipt of Nasdaq approval, Connexa will regain Bid Price Compliance

 

Windsor Mills, MD, June 17, 2024 — Connexa Sports Technologies Inc. (Nasdaq: YYAI), the owner of Slinger Bag and Gameface AI, announced that on June 17, 2024, following receipt of stockholder approval at its annual general meeting held on May 15, 2024, the Company is submiting an application to Nasdaq to effect a 1-for-20 reverse split of its common stock (the “Reverse Split”) with a request to become effective Monday morning, June 28, 2024. After Nasdaq approval, the pending Delisting Notice, received on June 11, 2024, should be withdrawn, there will be no further need for a hearing and Connexa will regain Nasdaq compliance.

 

“As already made public and approved by Connexa shareholders, the company is in the process of Yuanyu Enterprise Management effecting a change in control, which will result in the Slinger Bag business being transferred to a private company. It is unfortunate that this process, including the shareholder-approved 1-for-20 reverse split, has not been completed ahead of the bid price compliance deadline, resulting in the receipt of a delisting notice. However, the reverse split is now expected to take place in the coming days, subject to Nasdaq approval, and once complete will result in our bid price requirement once again being met,” commented Mike Ballardie, CEO of Connexa.
