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

 

On November 26, 2024, Amesite Inc. (“Amesite” or “the Company”) received a deficiency letter (the “Nasdaq Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”), nor is it in compliance with either of the alternative listing standards, either a market value of listed securities of at least $35 million or net income of $500,000 from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year, or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years.

 

Pursuant to the Nasdaq Letter, the Company has 45 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Letter to submit a plan to regain compliance and the Company intends to submit such a plan during this period. If it accepts the plan, Nasdaq can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Letter to evidence compliance. In the event the plan is not accepted by Nasdaq, or in the event the plan is accepted and the 180-day extension period granted but the Company fails to regain compliance within such plan period, the Company would have the right to a hearing before an independent panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.

 

The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and remain listed on Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will grant the Company’s request for an extension or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing.

 

Neither the Nasdaq Letter nor the Company’s noncompliance have an immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AMST”.
