Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 4, 2024, on February 28, 2024, Bluejay Diagnostics, Inc. (the "Company") received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that because the closing bid price for the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 (the "Common Stock"), had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in with the minimum bid price requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Requirement").
On August 28, 2024, Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Staff notified the Company that it has extended the time period for the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement until February 24, 2025. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Common Stock must be at least $1.00 or higher for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
The Company intends to continue to actively monitor the closing bid price of the Common Stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. Specifically, the Company has confirmed to Nasdaq that, if necessary, it will implement a reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock (if approved by the Company's stockholders) to attempt to regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance within the additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the 180-day additional compliance period or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
