Zoomcar Holdings Provides Non-Compliance Update
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission") on May 9, 2024, Zoomcar Holdings, Inc. received Notice from Nasdaq indicating that, because the market value of the Company's Common Stock had been below $50,000,000 for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complied with the minimum market value of listed securities requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) of Nasdaq Listing Rules (the MVLS Rule"), and that, because the closing bid price for the Common Stock has fallen below $1.00 per share for more than 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complied with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Rule 5450(a)(1) of Nasdaq Listing Rules (the Minimum Bid Price Rule"). The Company was provided with an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until November 4, 2024, to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule and the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The Company did not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule or the Minimum Bid Price Rule during the allotted time period. Further, as previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on November 4, 2024, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(B) (the PHS Rule") to maintain minimum requirement for publicly held shares at 1,100,000. Accordingly, on November 6, 2024, the Company received a staff delist determination letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, as a result of its failure to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule and as a result of its noncompliance with the PHS Rule. Additionally, as previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Commission on July 26, 2024, the Company also received a notice from Nasdaq notifying that it was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) to maintain a minimum market value of publicly held shares of $15,000,000 (the MVPHS Rule"). The Company was given 180 days (i.e. January 21, 2025) to regain compliance with the (MVPHS Rule"). The Company intends to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. This hearing request will automatically stay Nasdaq's delisting of the Company's common stock and warrants pending the Panel's decision and any extension provided by the Panel. The Company intends to present its plan of compliance, which may include a transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market listing tier. The Company has retained Donohoe Advisory Associates LLC to assist the Company in its preparation for the hearing and developing its compliance plan.
