ITEM 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD.
On January 19, 2024, Adamas One Corp. (the “Company” or the “Registrant”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, since the Company has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended September 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”), it no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for continued listing.
As a result of this delinquency of not timely filing the Form 10-K, the Company now has 60 calendar days, until March 19, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance and if Nasdaq accepts such plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the original due date of the Form 10-K, or until July 16, 2024, to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit the plan within the 60-day calendar period. However, there is no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance or, if accepted, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s rules by July 16, 2024. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
