Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 21, 2024, Elevai Labs Inc. (the “Company”), received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company no longer complies with the minimum stockholders equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing. Additionally, as of the date of this report, the Company does not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations under Nasdaq Listing Rules.
The Nasdaq Notice does not have any immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the Company has 45 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Notice to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules. If the Company’s plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Nasdaq Notice for the Company to evidence compliance with its plan and with the relevant Nasdaq continued listing rules.
In connection with the Company’s plan, once submitted, Nasdaq staff will consider such things as the likelihood that the plan will result in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing criteria, the Company’s past compliance history, the reasons for the Company’s current non-compliance, other corporate events that may occur during staff’s review period, the Company’s overall financial condition, and the Company’s public disclosures. If, in the staff’s consideration of the Company’s plan, the staff were to determine that the Company would not be able to cure the deficiency, then Nasdaq would provide notice that the Company’s common stock would be subject to delisting. Upon such a notice, the Company would have the right to appeal that determination and the Company’s common stock would continue to remain listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market until the completion of the appeal process. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements or that Nasdaq will grant the Company a further extension of time to regain compliance, if applicable.
The Company is considering various actions that it may take in response to the Nasdaq Notice in order to provide to Nasdaq the required plan to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements, but the Company has not currently completed its internal analysis regarding the items to be included in its plan to be submitted to Nasdaq staff.
