Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On October 1, 2025, Movano Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) and serves as an additional basis of delisting before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2025, the Company reported a stockholders’ equity of approximately $1.637 million and, as a result, does not satisfy the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
As previously disclosed, the Panel previously determined to grant the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq, subject to (i) the Company regaining compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), requiring the timely filing of periodic reports (the “Periodic Filing Rule”), by filing its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 on or before September 30, 2025, and (ii) the Company demonstrating compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring the maintenance of $1.00 per share bid price (the “Bid Price Rule”), on or before October 30, 2025. On September 24, 2025, the Company successfully filed its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025 to regain compliance with the Periodic Filing Rule. On September 26, 2025, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to authorize the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to amend the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio between one-for-two and one-for-fifteen, with the ultimate ratio to be determined by the Board in its sole discretion. The Company expects to effect the Reverse Stock Split and demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule on or prior to the October 30, 2025, deadline described above.
The Notice provides that the Panel will consider the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement in its decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and provides that the Company may present its views with respect to this deficiency in writing to the Panel no later than October 8, 2025. Accordingly, the Company intends to present a written plan of compliance to the Panel with respect to the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement on or before such deadline. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company any further compliance period for the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement or that, in the event a compliance period is provided, that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
