On August 5, 2024, Inspirato Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") received written notification (the "Letter") from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") notifying the Company of its decision to grant the Company's request to continue its listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") subject to the Company's meeting certain conditions outlined in the letter.

As the Company has previously reported, the Company had participated in its Hearing with the Nasdaq Panel on July 18, 2024, in relation to its failure to maintain the minimum market value of publicly held shares ("MVPHS") required by Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) (the "MVPHS Rule").

In the letter, the Hearings Advisor noted that in making its decision, the Panel considered the entire record, which was incorporated by reference into the Panel's decision. Background information about the Company, including its business description, financial information, market data and compliance history, had been presented to the Panel in the Listing Qualifications' Staff's memo to the Panel, dated July 3, 2024.

As noted in the Letter, the Company is in violation of the of the requirement to maintain the MVPHS required by the MVPHS Rule.

In the Letter, the Hearings Advisor reviewed the information presented to the Panel by the Company, detailing the compliance plan proposed by the Company. The Letter discussed the Company's compliance plan, which entailed converting certain Class V shares to Class A. While Class A shares count as publicly held shares, Class V shares do not. The Company also plans to conduct a follow-on offering for $3 million no later than November 8, 2024. The Letter noted the Company stated the combination of the share conversions and fundraising will allow the Company to satisfy the MVPHS Listing Standard, and Company requested an exception until November 22, 2024.

Panel Conclusions

The Letter stated that based on the information presented, the Panel had decided to grant the Company's request for an exception until November 22, 2024, to regain compliance with the Exchange's Listing Rules. The Letter noted that Company already begun the process to complete the plan, and Company is preparing to conduct a public offering that will also allow it to maintain compliance with the Exchange's Rules. The Panel believes an exception is appropriate.

The Letter stated the Panel grants the Company's request for continued listing on the Exchange, subject to the following: (1) On or before August 30, 2024, the Company shall file a registration statement with the SEC for a public offering; and (2) On or before November 22, 2024, the Company shall file a Form 10-Q demonstrating compliance with Listing Rule 5450(b)(2).
