Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On January 7, 2025, Damon Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the 30 consecutive business days from November 18, 2024 to January 6, 2025, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”). An indicator will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on NASDAQ.com and NASDAQTrader.com and may be displayed by other third-party providers of market data information, however, the Notice does not impact the listing of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Global Market at this time.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until July 7, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. During this period, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Global Market. If at any time before the Compliance Date the Company’s MVLS closes at or above $50 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the MVLS Requirement and will close the matter.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by the Compliance Date, the Staff will provide a written notification to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company receives a delisting notice and appeals the delisting determination by the Staff to the Panel, such appeal would be successful.

 

The Company intends to monitor its MVLS between now and the Compliance Date, and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency under the MVLS Requirement and regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. Additionally, the Company may consider applying to transfer the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that it then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on that market). However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing criteria.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the “safe harbor” provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions), as they relate to the Company or its management team, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Company’s ability to successfully appeal a delisting determination if issued, the Company’s ability to resolve the deficiency under the MVLS Requirement and regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement or the Company’s ability to successfully transfer the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s information statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the registration statement on Form 10-12B declared effective on November 12, 2024, the Exhibit 99.7 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 18, 2024, and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as required by law.
