- Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS): The Company failed to maintain the required minimum of $35 million for 30 consecutive business days prior to December 12, 2024.
- Stockholders' Equity: The Company does not meet the alternative standard of $2,500,000.

Material Changes and Delisting Notice
On December 12, 2024, the Company received a written notice from Nasdaq indicating non-compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) regarding the MVLS Requirement. Consequently, the Company is not currently in compliance with the continued listing requirements for The Nasdaq Capital Market. The notice has no immediate effect on trading, and securities will continue to trade under symbols DFLI and DFLIW pending the outcome of the compliance period.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Compliance Period: The Company has been granted 180 calendar days, until June 10, 2025, to regain compliance. To succeed, the MVLS must reach at least $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days within this window.
Management Strategy: Management intends to monitor the MVLS and may consider implementing available options to regain compliance, though there is no assurance of success.
Risks and Contingencies:
- If compliance is not achieved by the deadline, the Company's securities will be subject to delisting.
- Delisting could substantially decrease trading volume, adversely affect market liquidity, and reduce the ability to raise additional capital.
- There is a risk of further decline in market price and potential loss of investor confidence.
- The Company retains the right to appeal a delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.
Key Facts for Investor Verification
- Verify the current Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) to assess the gap to the $35 million threshold.
- Monitor the Company's stock price and trading volume over the next 180 days to gauge the likelihood of meeting the 10-day consecutive compliance window.
- Review the Company's most recent 10-K and 10-Q filings to confirm the specific values for stockholders' equity and net income that led to the failure of alternative listing standards.
- Watch for any announcements regarding capital raising activities or strategic actions intended to boost the MVLS before the June 10, 2025 deadline.
