Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Dragonfly Energy Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), on December 12, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business days preceding the receipt of the notice, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until June 10, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
Upon receipt on June 7, 2024 of both the Company’s application to transfer from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market and written notification by the Company of its intent to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, the Staff notified the Company in a letter dated June 11, 2024 (the “Second Nasdaq Notice”), that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until December 6, 2024, to regain compliance (the “Second Compliance Period”). If at any time during this period the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten, and generally not more than 20, consecutive business days, the Staff will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. The Staff’s determination was based, in part, on the Company meeting the applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market except for the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. As of the opening of business on June 12, 2024, the Company’s common stock will be transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market, where it will continue to trade under the symbol “DFLI”.
The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the bid price for its shares of common stock between now and the expiration of the Second Compliance Period and will consider all available options to resolve the deficiency including a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Nasdaq listing criteria or meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the Second Compliance Period, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination, such an appeal would be successful. The Company’s receipt of the Second Nasdaq Notice does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
