Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on June 20, 2024, Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Staff”) indicating that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which such rule requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 or meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations, which the Company does not currently meet.
On August 13, 2024, following the Staff’s review of the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement submitted on June 14, 2024, and on August 5, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) indicating that the Staff determined to deny the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq. Pursuant to the Notice, based on the preliminary nature of the Company’s plan, the Staff determined that the Company did not provide a definitive plan evidencing its ability to achieve near term compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The Company requested an appeal of the Staff’s determination, and a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) was held on October 3, 2024.
On October 8, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Panel”) indicating that the Panel has determined to grant the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq, subject to certain milestones being met on November 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024.
There can be no assurance that the Company will maintain its listing on Nasdaq, or that the Company will regain and maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.
