3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As
previously disclosed, on April 18, 2023, May 18, 2023 and August 23, 2023, Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) received
notification letters from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)
(the “Listing Rule”) as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), its Form 10-Q for the period ended April 1, 2023 (the “Q1 Form 10-Q”) and its Form
10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 (the “Q2 Form 10-Q”).
Pursuant
to the Staff’s notification letter dated July 5, 2023 (“Exception Notice”), the Staff had granted the Company an exception
until October 16, 2023, to file its delinquent Q1 Form 10-Q. Pursuant to the Exception Notice, any additional Staff exception to allow
the Company to regain compliance with all delinquent filings, including the Q1 Form 10-Q and Q2 Form 10-Q, is limited to a maximum of
180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-K, or October 16, 2023. On May 19, 2023, the Company filed the Form 10-K. On October
16, 2023, the Company filed the Q1 Form 10-Q and on October 18, 2023, the Staff notified the Company that it had regained compliance
with the Listing Rule with respect to the Q1 Form 10-Q.
On
October 18, 2023, the Company received a notice from the Staff notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s
continued listing requirements under the Listing Rule as a result of its failure to file the Q2 Form 10-Q in a timely manner (the “Staff
Determination”). Unless the Company requests an appeal of the Staff Determination pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5800 Series, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended from Nasdaq at the opening of business on October
27, 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 Nasdaq. The Staff Determination has no immediate effect and will not immediately
result in the suspension of trading or delisting of the Company’s shares of common stock.
Accordingly, the Company intends to timely request a hearing before the
Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The hearing request will automatically stay any trading suspension or delisting action
for an additional 15 calendar days following the date of the request; however, Nasdaq has a procedure to request an extension of the stay
through the hearing date and the expiration of any extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. In connection with the
hearing request, the Company will request that the stay be extended through 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 may grant an additional
extension period. However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company an additional extension, or that the Panel
will grant the Company’s request for an extended stay, or that the Company will be able to regain compliance by the end of any additional
extension period.
Item
8.01 Other Events.
On
October 24, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Staff Determination. A copy of such press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

request; however, Nasdaq has a procedure to request an extension of the stay through the hearing date and the expiration of any extension
