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

As previously disclosed, on August 24, 2023, iPower Inc. (the “Company”), received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock (the "Common Stock") was trading 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 Requirement”). The notification from Nasdaq had no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing and the Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “IPW.”

In accordance with Nasdaq Rules, the Company was provided with an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until February 20, 2024 (the “Initial Grace Period”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. Since the Initial Grace Period was coming to an end and the Company had not yet regained compliance, on February 13, 2024, the Company submitted a plan of compliance (the “Plan of Compliance”) to Nasdaq seeking an additional 180-day grace period (the "Additional Grace Period") to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Plan of Compliance set forth the steps the Company would take to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement within the additional 180-day period, including effectuating a reverse split of its common stock, if deemed necessary.

On February 21, 2024, the Company received formal approval from Nasdaq granting it an additional 180 days, or until August 19, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

If at any time before the Compliance Date the closing bid price for the Company’s Common Stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide the Company written confirmation that it has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that its Common Stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance or otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other listing requirements. Nonetheless, the Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and will, if necessary, consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement prior to the Compliance Date.
