Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on August 9, 2023, OmniQ Corp. (the “Company”) received a previous notice (the “Previous Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Rule(s)”), the Company had a market value of listed securities below the minimum $35,000,000 required for continued listing for the previous 30 consecutive trading days. Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until February 5, 2024 to regain compliance.
Further, on February 8, 2024, the Company received a new notice (the “Notice”) from the Staff that the Company has not regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), and thus, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination from the Staff, the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on February 20, 2024, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.
As of the date of this current report on Form 8-K, and in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to the hearings panel (the “Hearings Panel”), which will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities pending the Hearings Panels decision. As of this date, the Company intends to file an appeal with the Hearings Panel ahead of the February 15, 2024 deadline set forth by Nasdaq, and has already paid the $20,000 fee for a hearing in accordance with Nasdaq Rules.
