Item 3.01.Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On May 11, 2023, Knightscope, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Market.

 

The Company has 180 calendar days, or until November 7, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-calendar day grace period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by November 7, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it elects to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirements 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 bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. The Company’s failure to regain compliance during this period could result in delisting.

 

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its Class A Common Stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), or maintain compliance with any other listing requirements, or satisfy the requirements necessary to transfer the listing of its Class A Common Stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market.
