Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are a smaller reporting
company and accordingly we are not required to provide information required by this Item. Risk factors that may affect our business and
financial results are discussed within Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our annual report on the 2024 10-K. There have been no material
changes to the disclosures relating to this item from those set forth in our 2024 10-K, other than as set forth below.
Our failure to meet
the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") could result in the delisting of our common stock and publicly
traded warrants (the “Public Warrants”). Delisting could adversely affect the liquidity of our common stock and the market
price of our common stock could decrease, and our ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to fund our operations and to continue
to operate as a going concern would be substantially impaired.
On September 29, 2025, we
received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of Nasdaq, notifying us that, because the closing
bid price for its common stock has fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we no longer comply with the minimum
bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Lising Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price
Requirement”). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock and Public Warrants on the Nasdaq Global Market
and the common stock and the Public Warrants will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbols “VEEA” and
“VEEAW,” respectively, at this time. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial compliance
period of 180 calendar days, or until March 30, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance,
the closing bid price of our common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to March
30, 2026; provided, however, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810 (c)(3)(H), Nasdaq may, in its discretion, require us to satisfy the
Minimum Bid Price Requirement for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days, but generally not more than 20 consecutive business
days, before determining that we have demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
On September 29, 2025, we
received a notice from the Staff notifying us that, based on the market value of publicly held shares for the previous 30 consecutive
business days, the listing of our listed securities was not 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 notice has no immediate effect on the listing
of our securities on The Nasdaq Global Market and the securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time. Pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), we have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until March 30, 2026, to regain compliance
with the MVPHS Rule. To regain compliance during this 180-day compliance period, the minimum market value of publicly held shares must
close at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
On September 29, 2025, we
received a deficiency letter from the Staff notifying the Company that, for at least 30 consecutive business days, our Market Value of
Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the $50 million minimum requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Global Market
pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing
of our securities on The Nasdaq Global Market and the securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time. Pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), we have been provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until March 30, 2026, to regain compliance
with the MVLS Requirement. If at anytime during this compliance period our MVLS closes at $50 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive
business days, Nasdaq will provide us written confirmation of compliance. If we do not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement, its
securities will be subject to delisting.
There can be no assurance
that we will continue to meet the Bid Price Requirement, the MVPHS Rule, the MVLS Requirement or any other Nasdaq continued listing requirements,
in the future. If we fail to meet any of these requirements, including the Bid Price Requirement, the MVPHS Rule or the MVLS Requirement,
Nasdaq may again notify us that we have failed to meet the minimum listing requirements and initiate the delisting process. If our common
stock were delisted from Nasdaq, trading of our common stock and Public Warrants could be conducted in the over-the-counter market or
on an electronic bulletin board established for unlisted securities such as the Pink Sheets or the OTC Bulletin Board, but there can be
no assurance that our common stock and Public Warrants will be eligible for trading on such alternative exchange or market. Additionally,
if our common stock were delisted from Nasdaq, the liquidity of our common stock would be adversely affected, the market price of our
common stock could decrease, our ability to obtain sufficient additional capital to fund our operations and to continue to operate as
a going concern would be substantially impaired and transactions in our common stock could lose federal preemption of state securities
laws. Furthermore, there could also be a further reduction in our coverage by securities analysts and the news media and broker-dealers
may be deterred from making a market in or otherwise seeking or generating interest in our common stock, which could cause the price of
our common stock to decline further. Moreover, delisting may also negatively affect our collaborators’, vendors’, suppliers’
and employees’ confidence in us and employee morale.
