Material Changes and Delisting Notice
On June 11, 2024, Volcon, Inc. received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department stating the Company no longer complies with Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) due to failing to maintain the minimum requirement of 500,000 publicly held shares. This deficiency serves as an additional basis for delisting, compounding previous non-compliance issues regarding:
- Minimum bid price below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (Rule 5550(a)(2)).
- Market value of listed securities below the required $35,000,000 (Rule 5550(b)(2)).
Previously, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel granted an extension until June 24, 2024, to demonstrate compliance with the bid price and market value rules. The new notice regarding publicly held shares will be considered by the Panel in its final decision on the Company's continued listing.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
Management intends to submit a letter to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel by June 18, 2024, outlining a plan to address the deficiency in publicly held shares.
