Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On September 27, 2024, Know Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification (“Letter”) from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements of Sections 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) requiring stockholders’ equity of $4.0 million or more if the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of the four most recent fiscal years and $6.0 million or more if the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had stockholders’ deficit of $4.6 million and has had losses in the most recent five fiscal years ended September 30, 2023.
The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide. The Company has until October 27, 2024, to submit a plan (the “Plan”) of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by March 27, 2026. The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with NYSE American listing standards. If the NYSE American accepts the Plan, the Company will be able to continue its listing during the Plan period and will be subject to periodic reviews including quarterly monitoring for compliance with the Plan until it has regained compliance. If the Plan is not accepted by the NYSE American, the Letter stated that delisting proceedings will commence. The Company may appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.
The Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE American. The Company’s receipt of the Letter from the NYSE American does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On October 2, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Letter. A copy of the press release is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
