Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
As previously disclosed on the Form 8-K filed by Trio Petroleum Corp. (the "Company") with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 4, 2024, the Company intends to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Amendment") on November 14, 2024 to effect a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-twenty (1:20) (the "Reverse Stock Split"), where every twenty shares of the common stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), will combine into one share of Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will become effective as of 4:30 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 14, 2024, and the Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on November 15, 2024. The Reverse Stock Split was approved by the Company's stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders on August 15, 2024, and was approved by the board of directors of the Company on October 23, 2024.
On November 5, 2024, the Company received notice from NYSE American that NYSE American had halted trading in the shares of the Common Stock until the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split because the Common Stock was consistently selling at a low selling price per share in violation of Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide.
NYSE American informed the Company that it will attempt to reopen trading in the Common Stock on November 15, 2024, which is when the Common Stock is expected to begin trading on a post-split basis, provided that NYSE American no longer deems the selling price of the Common Stock to be too low.
