Item 1.03.

Bankruptcy or Receivership.

On August 9, 2024, after consideration of all strategic alternatives, Meta Materials, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), ceased operations and filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (the “Bankruptcy Court”), Case No. 24-50792 (the “Bankruptcy Filing”).

As a result of the Bankruptcy Filing, a Chapter 7 trustee will be appointed by the Bankruptcy Court and will administer the Company’s bankruptcy estate, including liquidating the assets of the Company in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code. Once a Chapter 7 trustee is appointed, an initial hearing for creditors will be scheduled, and the Notice of Bankruptcy Case Filing will be sent to known creditors.

 

Item 5.02.

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On August 7, 2024, the Company terminated all of its remaining employees and executive officers, including Uzi Sasson, its President and Chief Executive Officer, and Dan Eaton, its Chief Legal Officer, with the terminations of Messrs. Sasson and Eaton effective concurrent with the Bankruptcy Filing. Following the Bankruptcy Filing, the Company does not have any executive officers or employees.

Effective concurrent with the Bankruptcy Filing, each of John R. Harding, Allison Christilaw, Steen Karsbo, Kenneth Hannah, Vyomesh Joshi and Philippe Morali tendered their resignations as members of the Board of Directors. Each of the directors resigned due to the Bankruptcy Filing, and such resignations are not the result of any disagreements with the Company regarding the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. The resignation of the Company’s directors effectively eliminates the powers of the Board of Directors, and following the director resignations, the Company does not have directors serving on the Board of Directors.
