Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On December 4, 2018, Workhorse Group Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued inclusion on The NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification letter states that pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) the Company will be afforded 180 calendar days, or until June 3, 2019, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In order to regain compliance, shares of the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum bid closing price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance by June 3, 2019, NASDAQ may provide written notification to the Company that the Company’s common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal NASDAQ’s delisting determination to a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel. Alternatively, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 day grace period if it satisfies all of the requirements, other than the minimum bid price requirement, for listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5505.

The notification letter has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market and the Company will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “WKHS”.

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common stock between now and June 3, 2019 and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
