Business Context and Reporting Period
Xos, Inc. filed this current report dated June 27, 2023, with the report signed on June 28, 2023. The filing concerns the company’s Nasdaq listing status and does not report quarterly or annual operating results.
Key Financial and Capital Markets Information
- The filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, liquidity, or other operating financial metrics.
- Xos common stock trades under the symbol XOS, and its warrants trade under XOSWW.
- The warrants are exercisable for common stock at $11.50 per share.
Material Changes and Listing Status
- Nasdaq notified Xos on December 28, 2022 that its common stock had traded below the $1.00 minimum closing bid price for 30 consecutive business days, violating Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).
- The initial 180-day compliance period expired June 26, 2023.
- Xos applied on June 20, 2023 to transfer its common stock and warrants from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
- Nasdaq approved the transfer on June 27, 2023. The securities were scheduled to begin trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on June 29, 2023, under the same ticker symbols.
- The Nasdaq Capital Market has less stringent listing requirements than the Nasdaq Global Market, but continued compliance with applicable financial and corporate governance requirements remains necessary.
Outlook, Contingencies, and Unusual Items
- Xos received an additional 180-calendar-day grace period, through December 26, 2023, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement.
- Compliance requires a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 for at least 10 consecutive business days during the additional grace period.
- Xos informed Nasdaq that it would implement a reverse stock split to support regaining compliance. The filing does not specify the split ratio or timing.
- If compliance is not regained by December 26, 2023, the common stock would be subject to delisting. Xos may appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, and the stock would remain listed pending the panel’s written decision.
- If delisted after an unsuccessful appeal, the common stock could trade on the OTC Bulletin Board or other smaller markets, including the pink sheets.
Investor Verification Points
- Verify whether Xos completed a reverse stock split and whether the stock regained the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement.
- Confirm the company’s Nasdaq Capital Market listing status and any subsequent delisting or hearing-panel developments.
- Review later filings for the reverse split ratio, implementation date, dilution effects, and related capital-market actions.
- Assess the company’s financial condition separately, as this filing contains no operating or liquidity data.
