CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are intended to be covered by the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this Report, including statements regarding our future results of operations and financial position, business strategy and plans, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes are intended to identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Report are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. Future developments affecting us may not be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) and other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings that we make with the SEC from time to time. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. These risks and others described under “Risk Factors” may not be exhaustive.
By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. We caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Report. In addition, even if our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity, and developments in the industry in which we operate are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Report, those results or developments may not be indicative of results or developments in subsequent periods.
Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 7, 2024, Phunware, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. A copy of the press release issued concerning the foregoing results is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained herein, including Exhibit 99.1, is furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or subject to the liabilities of that Section or Section 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibit shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made by the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
The Company is making reference to non-GAAP financial information in the press release. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP financial measures is contained in the attached Exhibit 99.1 press release.
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 7, 2024, the Company received a letter (the "Letter") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, as previously disclosed, as a result of the resignation of Stephen Chen, from the Company's audit committee, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s audit committee composition requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), a listed company must have an audit committee of at least three members, each of whom must be an Independent Director as defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) and meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (subject to the exemptions provided in Rule 10A-3(c) under the Exchange Act). With Mr. Chen’s resignation from the Company's audit committee, the Company’s audit committee is currently comprised of only two members, Elliot Han and Rahul Mewawalla, each of whom meet the independence requirements set forth in Nasdaq Rule 5605(a)(2) and Rule 10-A3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act.
The Letter further provides that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), the Company is entitled to a cure period to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605, which cure period will expire the earlier of the Company's next annual stockholders' meeting or October 22, 2025; or if the next annual stockholders' meeting is held before April 21, 2025, then the cure period will expire on April 21, 2025.
If the Company does not regain compliance within the cure period, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel. The Company is in the process of reviewing and evaluating potential options to regain compliance with Nasdaq audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 within the cure period provided by Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance the Company will regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules.
