Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§ 230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§ 240.12b-2 of this chapter).

As previously reported by Meta Materials Inc. (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 30, 2022, the Company received written notice (“The Bid Price Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on August 25, 2022 indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).

On November 9, 2022, the Company received a letter (the “Compliance Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that it has determined that, because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was greater than $1.00 per share for the previous 10 consecutive trading days, the Company is now in full compliance with the Bid Price Rule. Accordingly, the Company has regained full compliance and the matter is now closed.
