As previously reported, on December 19, 2023, Volcon, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days.
Also previously reported, on December 26, 2023, the Staff notified the Company that it had determined that the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), if during the 180-day compliance period provided by Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), a listed security has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, the Staff shall proceed with a Staff delisting determination. Pursuant to the deficiency letter, the Staff notified the Company that it had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Additionally, as previously reported, on January 4, 2024, the Staff notified the Company that the market value of its listed securities had been below the minimum $35,000,000 required for continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) for the previous 180 calendar days and served as an additional basis for delisting.
The Company submitted a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Department, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s hearing was held on March 26, 2024.
On April 2, 2024, the Company received notification from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Panel”) that it has granted an extension until June 24, 2024, to demonstrate compliance with Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) and 5550(b)(1), subject to certain conditions. The Company intends to implement its plan to meet the milestones set forth by the Panel prior to June 24, 2024.
