Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On June 26, 2024, Zevia PBC (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that it is not in compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock (the “common stock”) was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE.
Pursuant to Section 802.01C, the Company has a period of six months from receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the minimum stock price listing requirement. The Company may regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the six-month cure period the common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. The Company intends to consider available alternatives to cure the stock price non-compliance. Under the NYSE’s rules, if the Company determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action that will require stockholder approval at its next annual meeting of stockholders, the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 trading days. The Company intends to notify the NYSE of its intent to regain compliance with the requirements of Section 802.01C.
The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
A copy of the press release dated July 2, 2024 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein.
