Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On November 22, 2023, Social Leverage Acquisition Corp I, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff (the “Staff”) at The Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq Global”) notifying the Company that the Staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities listed on Nasdaq Global (including the Common Stock, Units and Warrants) (the “Securities”) because it has not regained compliance with the Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) standard. The market value of the Company’s listed Securities was below the $50,000,000 minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq Global under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MLVS Rule”). As previously reported by the Company on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 3, 2023, the Staff initially notified the Company on April 3, 2023 that the minimum MVLS for the Company’s Securities were below the $50,000,000 minimum MVLS requirement for the previous 30 consecutive trading days, and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until October 2, 2023, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule.
Pursuant to the Letter, unless the Company requests a hearing to appeal this determination by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 29, 2023, the Company’s Securities will be suspended at the opening of business on December 1, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove the Company’s Securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Letter further notes that the Company may want to consider applying to list its Securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“NasdaqCM”), provided it satisfies the requirements for continued listing on NasdaqCM. If the Company decides to apply to transfer its listing to NasdaqCM (the “Transfer”), the application and applicable listing fees are due by November 29, 2023.
As such, on November 27, 2023, the Company initiated such Transfer and requested a hearing to stay the suspension of trading of the Company’s Securities. The Company’s Securities will continue to trade on Nasdaq Global until the hearing process concludes and the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) issues a final written decision. The hearing will be held on March 7, 2024. There can be no assurance that the Company’s request for a suspension of delisting or its Transfer to NasdaqCM will be granted.
