Item 8.01 Other Events
Inability to Timely File Form 10-Q
As previously disclosed in the Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed by CXApp Inc. (“Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 15, 2024 (the “Form 12b-25”), the Company was unable to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”) within the prescribed period due to the delay in the audit of the Company’s financial statements in connection with its recent business combination with its predecessor, specifically related to the interim stub period from January 1, 2023 to March 14, 2023. Subsequent to filing the Form 12b-25, the Company continued to dedicate significant resources to the completion of the Form 10-Q but was unable to file the Form 10-Q by May 20, 2024, the end of the extension period provided by the Form 12b-25.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 17, 2024, the Company requires additional time to complete the review and audit procedures required for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. The Company intends to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”) before submitting its Form 10-Q to ensure accurate representations and references in the Form 10-Q.
The Company and its advisors are diligently working to complete the necessary work to file the 2023 Form 10-K on or before Thursday, May 23, 2024. The Company intends to file the Form 10-Q promptly thereafter. The Company remains committed to ensuring the accuracy and completeness of its financial reports.
Impact on Sales Pursuant to Rule 144
Until such time as the Company files its 2023 Form 10-K, Form 10-Q and is otherwise current in its filings with the SEC, Company stockholders will be unable to utilize Rule 144 for sales of restricted securities.
Impact on Nasdaq Listing
The Company’s common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). Failure by the Company to timely file the Form 10-Q is expected to generate a notification letter from Nasdaq that the Company is no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq requirement for the timely filing of all required financial reports with the SEC. Such a notification letter, if received, is expected to grant the Company 60 days from the date of such notice to file the Form 10-Q.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on April 19, 2024, on April 18, 2024, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, because the Company is delinquent in filing its 2023 Form 10-K, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), which requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock or publicly traded warrants on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company has 60 calendar days after the Notice to submit a plan of compliance (the “Plan”) to Nasdaq addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, and Nasdaq has the discretion to grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the 2023 Form 10-K, or October 14, 2024, to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit the Plan and take the necessary steps to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules as soon as practicable.

Change in Date of Q1 Earnings Call
The Company announced that its Q1 earnings call, originally scheduled for Tuesday, May 21, 2024, has been rescheduled to Thursday, May 23, 2024, at 3:00 p.m., Pacific Time. During the call, the Company will discuss its financial results for the first quarter of 2024, ended March 31, 2024, and provide important updates on the CXAI platform, which is shaping the future of work by enabling enhanced employee experiences using artificial intelligence. This slight delay in our Q1 earnings call is to ensure the completion of our 2023 Form 10-K filing by the new call date. Additionally, we plan to announce a new product launch in collaboration with a major industry partner.
