Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 2, 2024, Global System Dynamics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a decision from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) conditionally granting the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with minimum market value of listed securities of $35 million, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Market Value Standard”), on or before April 1, 2024, and subject to fulfillment of certain other conditions, including the achievement of various interim milestones (the “Panel Decision”).
As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 13, 2023 by the Company, the Company received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of the Company not being in compliance with the Market Value Standard for 30 consecutive business days, the Company was being provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until October 2, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Market Value Standard requirement. Further as previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 10, 2023 by the Company, the Company did not regain compliance within the expiration of the 180-day extension that was previously granted by Nasdaq, and as a result, on October 4, 2023, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the Company’s securities were subject to delisting from Nasdaq pending the Company’s opportunity to request a hearing before the Panel.
On November 17, 2023, the Company appealed Nasdaq’s determination in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and requested a hearing (the “Hearing Request”) before the Panel. A hearing before the Panel was conducted on December 7, 2023. The Panel Decision granted the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules on or before April 1, 2024, and particularly subject to the Company filing its response to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) comments received on its Form S-4, by or before January 19, 2024.
The Panel Decision indicates that the Company may request that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the ���Council”) review the Panel Decision, in which case a written request for review would need to be received within 15 days from the date of the Panel Decision. The Council may also on its own motion determine to review the Panel Decision.
The Panel Decision has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market The Company plans to file an amendment to its Form S-4 as soon as possible, followed on with completion of the other conditions as stated in the Panel Decision; however, no assurance can be given as to the definitive date on which such milestones will be achieved.
On January 3, 2024, the Company issued a press release regarding the Panel Decision. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
