Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on September 11, 2024, Pixelworks, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Bid Price Deficiency Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), stating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement (the “Bid Price Requirement”) set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) because the Company’s common stock failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Company thereafter had 180 calendar days, or until March 10, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market and request a 180-day extension to comply with the Bid Price Requirement.
On March 7, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it had approved the Company’s application to transfer its listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s securities will be transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on March 11, 2025. Nasdaq also approved a 180-day extension, or until September 8, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). To regain compliance, the Company’s common stock must maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time prior to September 8, 2025.
The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock between now and September 8, 2025 and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, including, without limitation, effecting a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement during this 180-day extension period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
