Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 20, 2023, Arcimoto, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the bid price of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which sets forth the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Global Market (the “Minimum Bid Requirement“). Nasdaq’s notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period, at which time the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Minimum Bid Requirement, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).
In the event that Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement prior to the expiration of the 180-day compliance period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii) by transferring to the Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, the Company would need to submit a Transfer Application and a $5,000 application fee before the end of the 180-day compliance period. In addition, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (except the bid price requirement) based on the Company’s most recent public filings and market information, and the Company must notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure this deficiency during the second compliance period by effective a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Staff concludes that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or should the Company determine not to submit a transfer application or make the required representation, the Staff will provide notice that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting. The Company intends to closely monitor the closing bid price of the Common Stock and consider all available options to remedy the bid price deficiency to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
