Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 26, 2024, Safe and Green Development Corporation (the "Company") received a letter (the "Notification Letter") from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Rule") because the stockholders' equity of the Company of $2,018,263 as of June 30, 2024, as reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 14, 2024, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000 (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement"). As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company does not have a market value of listed securities of $35 million, or net income from continued operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years, the alternative quantitative standards for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
The notification received has no immediate effect on the Company's continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company's compliance with the other continued listing requirements.
Pursuant to Nasdaq's Listing Rules, the Company has 45 calendar days (until October 10, 2024), to submit a plan to evidence compliance with the Rule (a "Compliance Plan"). The Company intends to submit a Compliance Plan within the required time, although there can be no assurance that the Compliance Plan will be accepted by Nasdaq. If the Compliance Plan is accepted by Nasdaq, the Company will be granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from August 26, 2024 to evidence compliance with the Rule.
In the event the Compliance Plan is not accepted by Nasdaq, or in the event the Compliance Plan is accepted but the Company fails to evidence compliance within the extension period, the Company will have the right to a hearing before Nasdaq's Hearing Panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.
The Company intends to submit the Compliance Plan on or before October 10, 2024, monitor its stockholders' equity and, if appropriate, consider further available options to evidence compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement.
The notification is separate from, and in addition to, the previously disclosed deficiency letter that the Company received from the Staff on April 25, 2024 stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the Company's common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (March 14, 2024 through April 24, 2024).
