(the “Company”) requested a hearing by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) to appeal delisting determinations made by the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq: (i) on April 28, 2023 for failure to comply with the bid price requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), (ii) on September 5, 2023 for failure to comply with the minimum stockholders equity required for continued listing on Nasdaq, or any of the alternative requirement to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) (the “Equity Rule”), and (iii) on January 4, 2024 for failure to hold an annual meeting of stockholders for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) (the “Meeting Rule”).

The Company also informed the Panel that it intends to regain compliance with the Equity Rule by completing one or more equity financings. Finally, the Company informed the Panel that it intends to regain compliance with the Meeting Rule by holding an annual meeting of stockholders in the first quarter of 2024. As such, the Company proposed to the Panel a compliance plan that included a tentative schedule to complete the reverse stock split (which has now been completed), the equity financings, and the annual meeting and requested an extension of time to fully comply with Nasdaq listing requirements so that the Company could demonstrate to the Panel that it should not be delisted from Nasdaq. On February 2, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Panel had granted the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq until March 29, 2024, subject to certain conditions. The Company intends to comply with the conditions set forth by the Panel, as stated in the Letter. There can be no assurance that the Panel will afford the Company more time to complete the compliance plan it articulated in the hearing, or that the Company will be able to remain in compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements on an ongoing basis.

The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Schedules Reborn Coffee's Securities for Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market On October 26, 2023, Reborn Coffee, Inc. (the ‘Company’) received a notification letter (the ‘Letter’) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (‘Nasdaq’) notifying the Company that it has scheduled the Company’s securities for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

This Letter was sent pursuant to an earlier notification letter warning the Company that it was out of compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires that the listed security maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and that failure to meet this requirement for a period of 30 consecutive days will subject the Company to delisting. The Company was provided with 180 calendar days, or until October 25, 2023 to regain compliance pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

While the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance on October 20, 2023, there has not been an acceptance nor rejection of the plan. Nasdaq has instead stated that failure to meet Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) is an additional and separate basis for delisting. Pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 series, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the ‘Panel’). A hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. Upon paying the non-refundable $20,000 fee, the Company will have an opportunity to present a plan to regain compliance to the Panel. The Company intends to request a hearing but there can be no assurance that Nasdaq would grant the Company’s request for approval of its compliance plan, or otherwise reverse its determination that the Company’s securities ought to be delisted. The Company, by filing this Form 8-K, discloses its receipt of the notification from Nasdaq in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b). The Company has also previously disclosed prior Nasdaq notification letters on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2023 and September 11, 2023.

The Company does not currently satisfy such alternative criteria. The notification received has no immediate effect on the continued listing of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq.

In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance that Nasdaq would grant the Company's request for continued listing.

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: US$9.89m This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-US$5.5m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 46% per year over the past 5 years. Market cap is less than US$10m (US$9.89m market cap).

Reborn Coffee, Inc. Receives A Notification Letter from Nasdaq Regarding Minimum Bid Price Requirement On April 28, 2023, Reborn Coffee, Inc. (the Company") received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq") notifying the Company that the minimum bid price per share for its common stock has been below $1.00 for a period of 32 consecutive business days and the Company therefore no longer meets the minimum bid price requirements set in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notification received has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has until October 25, 2023 to regain compliance with the minimum bid price continued listing standard. If at any time during such 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company's common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance during such 180-day period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance, provided that the Company (i) meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, except for Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), and (ii) provides a written notice of its intention to cure this deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to the Listing Qualifications Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's securities will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance that Nasdaq would grant the Company's request for continued listing. The Company is monitoring the bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, evaluate various courses of action to achieve compliance with the minimum bid price continued listing standard. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price continued listing standard or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria. The Company, by filing this Form 8-K, discloses its receipt of the notification from Nasdaq in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b). Reported Earnings • Apr 12
