Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On November 21, 2022, Kalera Public Limited Company (the “Company”) received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The Staff’s determination was based upon the Company evidencing a closing bid price of less than $1 per share for the preceding thirty consecutive trading days, in contravention of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and less than $0.10 per share for the preceding ten consecutive trading days, in contravention of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(3)(A)(iii).
The Company has requested an appeal of the delisting determination by requesting a hearing before the Panel to stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of a Form 25-NSE with the SEC to remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq, and intends to timely request a further stay of any additional action by Nasdaq pending the issuance of a decision by the Panel and the expiration of any extension the Panel may grant to the Company following the hearing. There are no assurances that a stay will be granted or that a favorable decision will be obtained.
