Item 3.01    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On August 29, 2023, Lightning eMotors, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the average global market capitalization of the Company over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million and, at the same time, the Company’s last reported stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million.
In accordance with applicable NYSE procedures, the Company has 45 days from receipt of the Notice to submit a business plan advising the NYSE of the definitive action(s) the Company has taken, or is taking, that would bring it into compliance with continued listing standards within 18 months of receipt of the Notice. The NYSE will review the plan and, within 45 days of its receipt, determine whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of an ability to conform to the relevant standards in the 18-month period. If NYSE accepts the plan, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the 18-month period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing standards of the NYSE and continued periodic review by the NYSE of the Company’s progress with respect to its plan.
The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the applicable cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements of the NYSE.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
As required by NYSE rules, the Company issued a press release on September 1, 2023, announcing that it had received the Notice from the NYSE described in Item 3.01. A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information contained in item 7.01 of this current report, including exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other filing pursuant to the securities act of 1933, as amended, except as otherwise expressly stated in such filing.
