Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on March 23, 2023, Lottery.com, Inc. (the “Company”) requested a hearing by the Hearing Panel (the “Panel”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) to appeal a delisting determination made by Nasdaq’s staff on February 23, 2023. At the Panel hearing, which occurred on April 24, 2023, the Company, represented by outside counsel, its CEO and Chairman advised the Panel that it had been working with its auditor to complete the restatements of its financial statements for fiscal year 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, and all related and subsequent delinquent filings. As such, the Company proposed to the Panel a compliance plan that included a tentative schedule to complete the delinquent filings and requested an extension of time to fully comply with Nasdaq listing requirements so that the Company could demonstrate to the Panel that it should not be delisted from Nasdaq.
On May 8, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Panel had granted the Company’s request to continue its listing (the “Letter”), subject to the following conditions:
1. | On or before May 15, 2023, the Company shall provide the Panel with updated financial projections for 2022 and 2023, including income statements and balance sheets; and | |
2. | On or before May 15, 2023, the Company shall file with the SEC the amended Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Amended 2021 10-K”) and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2022. |
In accordance with the Panel’s decision, the Company filed its Amended 2021 10-K on May 10, 2023. The Company intends to comply with the remaining conditions set forth by the Panel, as stated in the Letter. Once the conditions are met, the Panel will review both filings, along with the updated projections, and determine if it believes the Company should be afforded more time to complete the compliance plan it articulated during the Panel hearing.
Another condition outlined in the Letter is a requirement that the Company provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this time that may affect the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq requirements during the exception period. This includes, but is not limited to, any event that may call into question the Company’s ability to meet the terms of the exception granted.
There can be no assurance that the Panel will afford the Company more time to complete the compliance plan it articulated in hearing, or that the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements on an ongoing basis.
