As previously disclosed, on May 1, 2023, Acutus Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was granted 180 calendar days, or until October 30, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

On October 19, 2023, the Company applied to transfer its securities from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market. Along with its application, the Company also provided written notice to the Staff of its intention to cure the deficiency. On October 27, 2023, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Staff approving the Company’s application to list its securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company’s securities will be transferred to The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on October 31, 2023. The Company’s Common Stock will continue to trade under the symbol “AFIB”. The Nasdaq Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in substantially the same manner as The Nasdaq Global Market and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), if a company listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market is not deemed in compliance before the expiration of the 180-day compliance period, it will be afforded an additional 180-day compliance period, provided that on the 180th day of the first compliance period it meets the applicable market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing and all other applicable standards for initial listing on the The Nasdaq Capital Market (except the Bid Price Requirement). In accordance with the foregoing, the Letter notified the Company that it was eligible for an additional 180-calendar day period, or until April 29, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.

The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement within the allotted compliance period, including by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If at any time during the allotted compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock is at least $1.00 per share for at least a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement within the allotted compliance period, or that if the Company appeals a Nasdaq determination, that such an appeal would be successful.
