Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 28, 2025, LiveOne, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based on the closing bid price for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”).
The letter from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from March 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. To regain compliance during this 180-day compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s shares of common stock must be at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
In the event that the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule prior to the expiration of the 180-day compliance period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse share split, if necessary. If the Company is not able to meet these requirements, the Company will receive written notification from Nasdaq that the Company’s shares are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, that such appeal would be successful.
The Company will continue to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule and thereby to maintain the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
