1A. Risk Factors
As
of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes in the risk factors disclosed by us under Part
I, Item 1A except the notice related to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department, mentioned as follows:
We
have been notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of our failure to comply with certain continued listing requirements and, if we are
unable to regain compliance with all applicable continued listing requirements and standards of Nasdaq, our Class A common stock and
redeemable warrants could be delisted from Nasdaq, which would have an adverse impact on the trading, liquidity, and market price of
our Class A common stock and redeemable warrants.
On
April 5, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company did not maintain a
minimum closing bid price of $1 per share for its common stock, as required by Nasdaq listing rule 5550(a)(2). The Company had 180 calendar
days, or until October 2, 2024, to regain compliance.
The
notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and its common stock will continue to trade
on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SHFS” at this time. The Company has a period of an additional 180 calendar
days, or until October 2, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before October 2, 2024, the
bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff
will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance and the matter will be closed.
There
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in
compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, the Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price for its common stock
and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including
initiating a reverse stock split. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, we must complete the reverse stock split
no later than 10 business days prior to the expiration date of the additional compliance period on October 2, 2024 in order to timely
regain compliance.
With
respect to the Risk Factors contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, we may disclose
changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC. Any of these factors could
result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.
