Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule Form 8 K

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On September 24, 2024 (the "Notification Date"), Smart Powerr Corp. (the "Company") received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"), as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), because the closing bid price of the Company's common stock was below $1.00 per share for 37 consecutive business days. The notification does not impact the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the Notification Date, until March 24, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. During this period, the Company's common stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If at any time before March 24, 2025, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with this Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance by March 24, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period to demonstrate compliance with the bid price requirement. To qualify for the additional 180-day period, the Company will 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 bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Company.

The Company intends to take all reasonable measures to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market's continued listing requirements or regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
