Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 29, 2024, Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") received a deficiency notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company's publicly held shares are below the 1,100,000 share minimum requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(B) (the "MPLS Requirement").
This notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market, and the Company's common stock will continue to trade under the symbol "ZCAR".
The notification states that the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance with the MPLS Requirement for continued listing. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notification to evidence compliance with the MPLS Requirement. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the panel, that such appeal would be successful.
Alternatively, the Company may apply to transfer the Company's securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market which has a reduced compliance standard under the MPLS Rule, provided the Company will only be able to transfer the listing to the Nasdaq Capital Market if the Company then meets the continued listing requirements on the Nasdaq Capital Market and pays an application fee of $5,000.
The Company previously reported in Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") on May 9, 2024 and July 26, 2024, the receipt of two notices from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with (i) the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Rule 5450(a)(1) of Nasdaq Listing Rules and (ii) with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) to maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares of $15,000,000.In the event that the Company has not regained compliance with these continuing listing standards by November 4, 2024, the Company will receive a delisting notice from Nasdaq and will also have the opportunity to appeal in front of a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
