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 13, 2024, Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that it is not in compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Company's Common Stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company's Common Stock from the NYSE.
The Company plans to notify the NYSE by September 27, 2024 that it intends to cure the stock price deficiency and to return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing standard. The Company can regain compliance at any time within the six-month period following receipt of the NYSE notice if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the Company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. The Company intends to consider available alternatives, subject to stockholder approval no later than at the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders, if necessary to cure the stock price non-compliance. Under the NYSE's rules, if the Company determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action that will require stockholder approval at its next annual meeting of stockholders, the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 trading days.
The Company's Common Stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE during this period, subject to the Company's compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
