On December 9, 2022, Rockley Photonics Holdings Limited (the “Company”) received a letter from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) notifying it that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing requirement in Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual because the Company’s market capitalization fell below $50 million over a 30 trading day period and its stockholders’ equity is less than $50 million. In accordance with Section 802.02 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, the Company intends to submit a business plan to the NYSE within 45 days that shows how the Company plans to regain compliance with this continued listing standard within 18 months from the date of the notice.

The Company believes that its expectations, as expressed in these statements, are based on reasonable assumptions regarding risks and uncertainties inherent in achieving those expectations; however, these statements are not guarantees of performance and actual results may differ materially.
