Material Changes
Listing Compliance Notice: On October 16, 2024, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating non-compliance with the $1.00 Minimum Bid Price requirement (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)).

Immediate Impact: The notice does not result in immediate delisting.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- Compliance Timeline: The Company has been granted an initial 180-calendar day period (until April 14, 2025) to regain compliance.
- Path to Compliance: Compliance is achieved if the bid price closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the compliance period.
- Alternative Options: If the initial period expires without compliance, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period if it meets other listing requirements and notifies Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency, potentially via a reverse stock split.
- Delisting Risk: Failure to regain compliance or demonstrate the ability to cure the deficiency may result in written notification of delisting, subject to appeal.
- Management Commentary: The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price and is considering options to regain compliance. Management states the notice does not affect business operations or SEC reporting requirements.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current closing bid price of AUDDIA common stock (AUUD) to assess proximity to the $1.00 threshold.
- Monitor future 8-K filings for announcements regarding a reverse stock split or confirmation of regained compliance.
- Review the Company's market value of publicly held shares to determine eligibility for a second compliance period if the first expires.
- Check for any subsequent communications from Nasdaq regarding the status of the delisting notice.
