Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported on October 16, 2024, the Company effected a 1-for-22 reverse stock split. In connection with same, the Staff (as defined below) determined that the bid price of the Company’s listed securities has closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and as a result, does not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
As such, on March 12, 2025, Sharps Technology, Inc. (the “Company”), was notified by the staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market as the bid price of its securities had closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days. Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the rule. However, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for any compliance period due to the fact that the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one.
The Company’s securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company requests a hearing and appeals Nasdaq’s determination. Accordingly, the Company will be timely filing a hearing request before the deadline which will automatically stay the delisting and suspension of the Company’s securities pending the decision of the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). At the hearing, the Company intends to present its views and its plans to regain compliance with the minimum bid price rule to the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to evidence compliance with the minimum bid price rules or any other applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market prior to the hearing. In the interim, the Company expects its common stock and warrants will remain listed on Nasdaq under its existing symbols, “STSS” and “STSSW” while it awaits the hearing
