Item 8.01 Other Events.

On December 18, 2023, Mitek Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) received a delisting determination from the Listing Qualifications Department (“Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c) (the “Rule”), as a result of the Company’s failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended September 30, 2023 in a timely manner, which serves as a basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq.

As previously reported, the Company is subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year, or until November 6, 2024, which requires the Staff to promptly issue a delisting determination in the event that the Company fails to maintain compliance with the Rule. The Company has the opportunity to request a new hearing with the Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 26, 2023, which it intends to do. The hearing request will automatically stay any trading suspension or delisting action for 22 calendar days from the date of the notice of non-compliance; pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, if a deadline falls on a weekend or federal holiday (i.e. Christmas), it is automatically extended to the next business day. Notwithstanding, Nasdaq has a procedure that allows the Company to request an extension of the stay through the hearing date and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing, and the Company plans to make such request.
