Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 10, 2024, Sphere 3D Corp. ("the Company") received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") stating that the bid price of the Company's common shares for the last 30 consecutive trading days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Listing Rule"). The Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until April 8, 2025, to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. The notice from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common shares on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
If the Company does not regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by April 8, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including, but not limited to, implementing a reverse stock split of its outstanding securities, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.
