Item
3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On
February 17, 2023, PetVivo Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (“Notice”)
from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”)
stating that the Company no longer complies with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)
for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market because the Company’s stockholders’ equity, as reported in the Company’s
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2022, has fallen below $2.5 million. The Notice
also indicates that the Company does not meet
the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income
from continuing operations.
Under
applicable Nasdaq rules, the Company has 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice,
or until April 3,
2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance. The Company intends
to timely submit such a plan to Nasdaq on or before April 3, 2023. If
the Company’s plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice
to evidence compliance.
The
Notice has no immediate impact on the continued listing of the Company’s common stock or warrants, which will continue
to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “PETV” and “PETVW”, respectively.
Item
5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of
Certain Officers.
On
February 24, 2023, the Company entered into the second amendment (“Amendment”) to the employment agreement dated November
10, 2021, as amended on November 1, 2022 (collectively, the “Employment Agreement”) between the Company and John Lai,
its Chief Executive Officer. On that day, Mr. Lai informed the Compensation Committee that he would be willing to receive shares (“Shares”)
of the Company’s common stock in lieu of his cash salary payments for the six month period beginning on March 1, 2023 and ending
on August 31, 2023 (the “Interim Period”). The Compensation Committee approved Mr. Lai’s request and determined
that the Company should issue 60,600 Shares (the “Total Interim Shares”) to Mr. Lai for his service during the Interim
Period as a restricted stock award unit agreement (“RSU Award Agreement”) under the Company’s Amended and Restated
2020 Equity Plan (the “2020 Plan”). The Compensation Committee calculated the number of Total Interim Shares by taking
(A) Mr. Lai’s salary during the Interim Period ($175,000) divided by (B) the volume weighted average closing price of the Company’s
common stock during the 10 day period preceding February 22, 2023 ($2.8878), rounded up to the nearest whole share.
The
Compensation Committee approved the vesting of 10,100 of the RSU’s on March 1, 2023, with an additional 10,100 of the RSU’s
vesting on the first day of each month thereafter such that all of the RSU’s would be fully vested on August 1, 2023, subject to
Mr. Lai’s continued employment with the Company through each applicable vesting date. Additional terms of the RSU Award Agreement
are set forth in the 2020 Plan.
The
foregoing description of the Amendment to the Employment Agreements and the RSU Award Agreement do not purport to be complete and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete texts, filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, which are incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
