Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
Item 8.01 Other Items.
As of December 23, 2024, and the date of this report, Versus Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) believes it has regained compliance with the deficiency cited by The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) in a letter dated August 22, 2024. Specifically, on December 23, 2024, the Company completed the sale and issuance of 2,155,172 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase an additional 1,077,586 shares of common stock, upon the conversion of a $2.5 million promissory note. As a result, the Company’s stockholders’ equity exceeds the requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).
Nasdaq has informed the Company that it will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement and, if at the time of its next periodic report the Company does not evidence compliance, that it may be subject to delisting.
Additionally, on January 6, 2025, Nasdaq issued another deficiency letter because the Company did not hold an annual meeting of shareholders in 2024 as required by Nasdaq Listing Rules 5620(a) and 5810(c)(2)(G). To remedy this deficiency, the Company will hold a meeting of shareholders in the second quarter of 2025, which is expected to encompass an annual meeting for 2024 and an annual meeting for 2025.
The January 6, 2025 notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq. Nasdaq has provided the Company with 45 calendar days, or until February 20, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance with annual meeting requirement. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension until June 30, for the Company to regain compliance. The Company expects to hold the required shareholder meeting in the second quarter of 2025 and thereby regain compliance.
