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

On February 6, 2024, the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notified Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (the “Company”) that based on the Staff’s review of materials submitted by the Company to Nasdaq, the Staff determined to grant the Company an extension to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).

The deficiency with respect to the Company’s compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement was disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on November 22, 2023. In the event the Company does not regain and evidence compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by May 20, 2024, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that its securities may be subject to delisting. Further, if the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing its periodic report for June 30, 2024 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq, the Company may be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel.

The Company plans to regain and evidence compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by the required deadlines.
