Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 5, 2024, ENGlobal Corporation (the “Company) received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating the Company failed to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b), the minimum shareholders’ equity rule. The notice further indicates the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) has determined to delist the Company’s common stock and that trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the open of trading on December 6, 2024.
As previously disclosed, on August 14, 2024, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Panel had determined to grant the Company’s request for an exception to continue its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market until November 26, 2024, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with Listing Rule 5550 on or before such date and certain other conditions.
In connection with the Nasdaq delisting notice, Nasdaq will complete the delisting by filing a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) after applicable appeal periods have lapsed. In the interim, the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading under trading symbol “ENGC” on the OTC Markets system effective with the open of the markets on December 6, 2024. The Company cannot predict what the impact of the transition will be on the liquidity in its common stock.
The Company has 15 days after the date it received notice of the Panel’s decision to request in writing that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Council”) review the decision. In addition, the Council may, on its own motion, determine to review the Panel’s decision within 45 calendar days after the Company was notified of the decision.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, as well as other written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by the Company and its representatives in other reports, filings with the SEC, press releases, conferences or otherwise, may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This information includes, without limitation, statements concerning the trading of the Company’s common stock on the OTC Markets system and the impact of the transition will be on the liquidity in the Company’s common stock. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Generally, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may” and similar expressions, identify forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. Actual results could differ materially from the results described in the forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties set forth under Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2023, and those described from time to time in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
