iPower Inc. 10-Q

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS 50 If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, it could result in our common stock being delisted, which could adversely affect the market price and liquidity of our securities and could have other adverse effects. On August 24, 2023, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that for the 30 consecutive business day period between July 13, 2023 to August 23, 2023 the Company’s common stock had failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, as required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until February 20, 2024 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days, unless such period is extended by Nasdaq. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by February 20, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and we would need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. Prior to February 20, 2024, we will submit a memorandum to Nasdaq seeking approval to utilize the additional 180-day compliance period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. In the event the Company cannot regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the Compliance Period or any subsequently granted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide the Company with notice that our common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. While Nasdaq’s notice to the Company of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock and our common stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “IPW,” there can be no assurance that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements. We will continue to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. ITEM 2.
