Item 3.01 | | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On November 15, 2023, Movella Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 indicating that the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”) would be delayed principally due to the ongoing review by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors in connection with the restatements of the Company’s previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto with respect to the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, and June 30, 2023. The review and restatements are more fully described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 14, 2023.
On November 16, 2023, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company did not timely file its Quarterly Report.
Under Nasdaq rules, the Company now has 60 calendar days (until January 16, 2024) to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Quarterly Report’s original due date, which 180-day period would end on May 13, 2024, to regain compliance. The Company can regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards at any time before such dates by filing the Quarterly Report with the SEC and any other subsequent reports that are required to be filed during the 180-day extension period.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the listing standards discussed above.
On November 16, 2023, the Company issued a press release disclosing the receipt of the Notice. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.01.
