On August 27, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Gordon Engagement Letter”) with an entity owned solely by Mr. Gordon (“DJG”), in the form of the director engagement letter attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to pay DJG a monthly fee of $15,000 (with total fees of not less than $90,000) in respect of his services as a director. In addition, the Gordon Engagement Letter provides certain indemnification rights to DJG and Mr. Gordon to the fullest extent lawful.

     

    On August 27, 2024, the Board appointed Michael Epstein to the Board as an independent Class C director, effective immediately, for a term until his successor is elected and qualified or until his earlier resignation or removal. Mr. Epstein will be a nominee for election as a Class C director at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders for a three-year term. The Board has also appointed Mr. Epstein as a member of the following standing committees of the Board: Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee.

     

    In connection with the appointment of Mr. Epstein as the director of the Company, on August 27, 2024, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Epstein Engagement Letter”) with an entity owned solely by Mr. Epstein (“MJE”), in the form of the director engagement letter attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, pursuant to which, among other things, the Company agreed to pay MJE a monthly fee of $15,000 (with total fees of not less than $90,000) in respect of his services as a director.

    Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

     

    Nasdaq Rule 5605 Deficiency

     

    On August 27, 2024, the Company received formal notice (the “Rule 5605 Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department stating that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s audit committee and compensation committee requirements as set forth in Listing Rule 5605 due to the resignations of Allison Greenfield, Vivian Lopez-Blanco and Gregory Mann from the Board, audit committee, and compensation committee on August 14, 2024.

     

    The Company is required to submit to Nasdaq within 45 calendar days a plan to regain compliance with respect to Nasdaq’s audit committee and compensation committee requirements, and if accepted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Rule 5605 Notice. The Company will evaluate available options to regain compliance within the compliance period, including the submission of such a plan. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will submit the plan, Nasdaq will accept the plan, or the Company will regain compliance within the compliance period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

     

    Nasdaq Rule 5250 Deficiency

     

    As reported by Company in its Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), on August 16, 2024, the Company was unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended July 1, 2024 (“Q2 Form 10-Q”), within the prescribed time period. The extension provided under Rule 12b-25 expired on August 20, 2024.

     

    On August 27, 2024, Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) provided formal notice to the Company that as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Q2 Form 10-Q, the Company does not comply with the continued listing requirements under the timely filing criteria outlined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).

     

    The Company is required to submit to Nasdaq within 60 calendar days a plan to regain compliance with respect to the delinquent Q2 Form 10-Q, and if accepted by Nasdaq, the Company has until February 18, 2025, to implement the plan to regain compliance. The Company will evaluate available options to regain compliance within the compliance period, including the submission of such a plan. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will submit the plan, Nasdaq will accept the plan, or the Company will regain compliance within the compliance period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

     

    Nasdaq’s deficiency notices have no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock and warrants, which continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “BFI” and “BFIIW,” respectively.

    Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

     

    This Current Report on Form 8-K and other related materials may contain a number of “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, including statements regarding the Company’s expectation about any or all of the following: (i) the intent and plan of the Company to submit a plan of compliance with respect to, and regain compliance with, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, and (ii) the anticipated actions by the Staff and the Company’s responses and their anticipated outcomes. Forward-looking statements can be identified by terms such as “will,” “intent,” “expect,” “plan,” “potential,” “would,” “may” or similar expressions and the negative of those terms. The Company has based these forward-looking statements largely on its current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that it believes may affect its business, financial condition and results of operations. Although the Company believes that such statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are neither promises nor guarantees and they are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk. Because forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified and some of which are beyond the Company’s control, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. These risks and uncertainties include, among others, our ability to submit and have accepted plans of compliance with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, our ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 and otherwise maintain our listing with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC along with those risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 10, 2024, the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 16, 2024, and in any other filings made by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available at www.sec.gov. Existing and prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, other than to the extent required by law.
