SEC Form 8-K Summary

Business Context and Reporting Period

Registrant: Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation, identified in the request metadata as Palladyne AI Corp. The filing was dated January 23, 2023, with the report signed January 27, 2023. The filing concerns Nasdaq continued-listing compliance and does not report operating results for a fiscal period.

Key Financial Metrics and Liquidity

The filing does not provide revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, liquidity, or other financial performance metrics.

Material Change

On January 23, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that its common stock had failed to satisfy the $1.00 minimum closing bid-price requirement for 30 consecutive business days under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

  • The deficiency had no immediate effect on the Nasdaq Global Market listing.
  • The Company received an initial 180-calendar-day compliance period, ending July 22, 2023.
  • To regain compliance, the common stock must close at or above $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive business days, while the Company continues to satisfy other applicable Nasdaq requirements.

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

The Company intends to monitor its stock price and evaluate available remedies, potentially including a reverse stock split. If compliance is not restored by July 22, 2023, the Company may be eligible to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market and seek an additional 180-calendar-day compliance period, subject to meeting applicable listing standards.

If the deficiency is not cured within the available compliance periods, Nasdaq may issue a delisting notice. The Company would have appeal rights, but there is no assurance that an appeal or any other remedy would succeed. The filing’s forward-looking statements regarding compliance efforts and potential relief are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.

Investor Verification Checklist

  • Verify whether the Company subsequently regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid-price requirement.
  • Check whether the Company effected or proposed a reverse stock split.
  • Confirm whether the Company transferred to the Nasdaq Capital Market or received any additional compliance period.
  • Review subsequent SEC filings for any delisting notice, appeal, trading-status change, or related corporate action.
  • Confirm the registrant’s corporate name and ticker history, as this filing identifies the registrant as Sarcos Technology and Robotics Corporation.
