Today, Global System Dynamics, Inc. (“GSD,” the “Company”)
announced that it received notification from The Nasdaq Stock
Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it is not in compliance with the
Nasdaq’s annual shareholder meeting requirement, pursuant to Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5620(a).
On January 5, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company
in a letter (the “Notice Letter”) that it did not comply with
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires listed companies to
hold an annual shareholder’s meeting no later than one year
following its last fiscal year. To date, the Company has not held
its annual shareholder’s meeting. The Notice Letter stated that
such deficiency would be an additional factor considered by the
Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”) in the Company’s hearing
regarding delisting from the Nasdaq. The Company is in the process
of scheduling the annual shareholder’s meeting, which date will be
provided to its shareholders on further notice.
The Notice Letter also stipulated that the
Company comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(G), which
requires listed companies to promptly disclose their receipt of
letters regarding failure to comply with certain Nasdaq Listing
Rules by either (i) filing a current report on Form 8-K, where
required by SEC rules, or (ii) issuing a press release. The Form
8-K filing or press release issuance must occur within four (4)
business days after the date of the Notice Letter.
Contemporaneously with the issuance of this press release, the
Company is filing a current report on Form 8-K to disclose the
contents of the Notice Letter.
The Notice Letter required the Company to
present its views regarding non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5620(a) to the Panel in writing no later than January 12, 2024. The
Company is currently preparing a response to the Notice Letter for
an anticipated timely submission.
The Notice Letter comes after a previously
disclosed stipulation from the Panel on January 2, 2024 that our
request to continue our listing on Nasdaq was granted, subject to
our filing a response to the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”)’s comments received on Form S-4 (“Form S-4”)
by or before January 19, 2024. The Panel also required GSD to
complete its business combination with DarkPulse, Inc (OTC: DPLS)
on or before April 1, 2024 (the “Business Combination”). The
Company is working diligently to meet these deadlines.
If the Company fails to address its deficiencies
with the Nasdaq Listing Rules and evidence compliance upon filing
its amended registration statement on the Form S-4 with the SEC by
the stipulated date, the Company may be subject to delisting from
the Nasdaq. We cannot assure that despite our completion of a
compliance plan or submission of an amendment to the Form S-4,
Nasdaq will grant our request for our continued listing on the
Nasdaq.
