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

 

On August 12, 2022, NewAge, Inc. (the “Company”) received an additional delinquency notification letter dated August 11, 2022 (the “August Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that due to the delay in filing the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 (the “June 30 Form 10-Q”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires listed companies to timely file all periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

As previously reported, the Company received letters from Nasdaq on April 1, 2022 and May 12, 2022 (the “Prior Letters”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the Rule due to the delay in the filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-K”) and the delay in the filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 (the “March 31 Form 10-Q”), respectively.

 

In response to the Prior Letters, the Company submitted a plan of compliance to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Rule and was granted an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the original filing due date of the Form 10-K, or until September 27, 2022, to regain compliance. As a result of the additional delinquency identified in the August Letter, the Company must submit an update to its original compliance plan to Nasdaq by August 26, 2022.

 

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On August 18, 2022, the Company issued a press release announcing the Company’s receipt of the August Letter. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
