ITEM 3.01. NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.
On November 11, 2024, Purple Innovation, Inc. (the "Company") received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the closing bid price of the Company's common stock has been below the required minimum of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's Class A common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market.
The Company has 180 calendar days, or until May 12, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-calendar day compliance period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by May 12, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if it elects to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. In the event the Company fails to regain compliance or is not permitted to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market before the initial compliance period expires, the Company will receive a written notification from Nasdaq that its common stock is subject to delisting. If the Company were to receive such a notification, the Company could appeal Nasdaq's determination to delist its common stock, but there can be no assurance Nasdaq would grant the Company's request for continued listing.
The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing requirements.
