Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on June 21, 2023, COMSovereign Holding Corp. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares, as defined by Nasdaq (“MVPHS”), of the Company’s 9.25% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) has been below the minimum $1 million requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5555(a)(4) (the “Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement”). The Company was provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from receipt of the letter, or until December 18, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement.
On December 19, 2023, the “Company received written notice from Nasdaq that the Staff had determined that the Company’s Preferred Stock has not regained compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement, Rule 5555(a)(4), which serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
The Company previously requested and was granted a hearing before The Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), as well as a further stay of any suspension action by Nasdaq pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel and the expiration of any extension the Panel may grant to the Company following the hearing. The Panel will also consider Minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market At the hearing, the Company intends to present its plan to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing criteria and request an extension to do so. If the Panel denies the Company’s request for continued listing or if the Company is unable to evidence compliance within any extension of time that may be granted by the Panel, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted and, as such, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq.
