Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported by ADDvantage Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company”) on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on January 31, 2024, on February 1, 2024, the Company and each of its subsidiaries, Fulton Technologies, Inc., Nave Communications Company , and ADDvantage Triton, LLC, filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division (the “Bankruptcy Filing”).
On February 2, 2024, the Company received a letter from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company and the Chapter 7 trustee that the Staff has, in accordance with Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b), and IM-5101-1, determined that the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq based on the following factors: (i) on January 31, 2024, the Company entered the Bankruptcy Filing and the associated public interest concerns raised by such filing; (ii) concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders; and (iii) concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.
The Staff’s letter indicates that the trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq will be suspended at the opening of business on February 13, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
The Company does not intend to appeal the Staff’s determination. Therefore, the Company expects that the trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on February 13, 2024 and delisted from Nasdaq, as indicated in the Staff’s letter.
