Item 3.01.

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

As previously reported, on November 21, 2022, EBET, Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company 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 requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. The Company requested an additional 180 days in which to regain compliance, and on May 23, 2023 the Company received notice from Nasdaq informing the Company that it had been granted an additional 180-day period, or until November 20, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

On July 31, 2023, the Company was notified by the Staff that it had determined that the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days from July 17, 2023 through July 28, 2023. Accordingly, since the Company was subject to the provisions set forth under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Staff letter stated that unless the Company requests an appeal of the Staff’s determination, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on August 9, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Company plans to timely submit a hearing request to Nasdaq’s Hearings Department, which will stay the suspension of the Company’s common stock and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the panel’s decision.
