Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed by QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) in a Current Report on Form 8‑K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 10, 2024, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business days prior to May 6, 2024, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”). In addition, as previously disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 21, 2024, the Staff of Nasdaq on June 17, 2024 sent to the Company a further written notice notifying the Company that it is also no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules because the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (the “minimum bid price requirement”).
On September 4, 2024, the Company received a further written notice (the “Notice”) from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, for the prior 31 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Publicly Held Securities (“MVPHS”) was below the minimum of $15 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(c) (the “MVPHS Requirement”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time. An indicator reflecting non‑compliance will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s shares on NASDAQ.com and NASDAQTrader.com and may be displayed by other third-party providers of market data information.
The Notice provided that, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until March 3, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with respect to the MVPHS Requirement. During this period, and subject to the notices that the Company received from the Staff of Nasdaq on May 10, 2024 and June 17, 2024 with respect to the MVLS Requirement and the minimum bid price requirement, respectively, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “QTI”. If at any time before the Compliance Date the Company’s MVPHS closes at or above $15 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the MVPHS Requirement and will close the matter.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide a written notification to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, such appeal would be successful.
The Company intends to monitor its MVPHS between now and the Compliance Date and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement. Additionally, the Company may consider applying to transfer the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that it then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on that market). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that do not relate to matters of historical fact should be considered forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement, the MVLS Requirement and the minimum bid price requirement; the Company’s intent to monitor its MVPHS and consider available options to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement; and the Company’s success in appealing any delisting determination. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “outlook,” “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “due,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “positioned,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and other similar expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and future trends, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions which may cause actual results to differ materially from any results expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement, including, but not limited to, the Company’s ability to regain compliance with the MVPHS Requirement, the MVLS Requirement and the minimum bid price requirement; and the other important factors outlined under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 8, 2024, as such factors may be updated from time to time in its other filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results. The Company has no obligation, and does not undertake any obligation, to update or revise any forward-looking statement made in this Current Report on Form 8-K to reflect changes since the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as may be required by law.
