Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 27, 2023, Porch Group, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Bid Price Deficiency Notice”) from the listing qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on Nasdaq (the “Bid Price Requirement”). The Company was not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive trading days.
The Bid Price Deficiency Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and the Company’s common stock continues to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “PRCH.”
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Bid Price Deficiency Notice, or until March 25, 2024, to regain compliance with respect to the Bid Price Requirement. The Bid Price Deficiency Notice states that to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days during the compliance period ending March 25, 2024.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock between now and March 25, 2024 and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards.
If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by March 25, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement during the second 180-day period, Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist its common stock, at which point the Company may have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

Certain statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K may be considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, express or implied statements relating to the Company’s ability to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, obtain an additional compliance period if needed, and take actions that may be required for continued listing on Nasdaq. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company cannot assure you that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions, or expectations. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning the Company’s possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events, or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by, or include the words “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “plans,” “scheduled,” “anticipates,” “intends,” or similar expressions.
These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company and its management at the time they are made, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to the risks and uncertainties discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2022, and in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and June 30, 2023, as well as those discussed in subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), all of which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
