| Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 21, 2023, on September 18, 2023, ProSomnus, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (the “MVPHS”) of $15,000,000 required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) (the “MVPHS Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), Nasdaq afforded the Company an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days for the MVLS Requirement, which expired on March 18, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”).
On March 19, 2024, the Company received a determination letter from the Staff that it had failed to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement by the Compliance Date because the Company’s MVPHS did not reach $15,000,000 by the Compliance Date.
As previously disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 16, 2024, the Company submitted a hearing request to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination for failing the meet the Market Value of Listed Securities Nasdaq listing requirement (the “MVLS Requirement”). Nasdaq notified the Company that such request had been granted and a hearing in front of the Panel had been scheduled. Accordingly, the Company plans to also present a compliance plan to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement in addition to a plan to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement at such previously scheduled hearing in front of the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
Additionally, as previously disclosed, the Company received a separate written notice from Nasdaq, indicating that the Company was no longer in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Company was afforded an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days for the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which is set to expire on April 30, 2024.
The Company is pursuing resolution of the deficiencies noted; however, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plan as presented to the Panel will be accepted by the Panel or that, if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, or that a Panel will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are delisted from the Nasdaq Global Market and Nasdaq Capital Market, it could be more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s securities or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company’s securities could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair the Company’s ability to raise capital and/or trigger defaults and penalties under outstanding agreements or securities of the Company.
