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 February 9, 2024, Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement") for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Original Notice"). At that time, the Company was provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Original Notice, or until August 7, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

As the Company did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by August 7, 2024, and it was determined by the Nasdaq Staff that the Company should not be eligible for another 180 calendar-day extension, the Company received a delisting determination letter on August 9, 2024. Accordingly, the Company intends to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearing Panel ("Panel"). The hearing request will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. In that regard, pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Panel has the discretion to grant the Company an additional extension period not to exceed February 5, 2025. However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company an additional extension period or that the Company will ultimately meet all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to provide a plan to regain compliance to the Panel.
