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

 

On April 23, 2020, Exela Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received an anticipated notice (the “Notice”) from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Rule”) because, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum requirement of $35 million. In the Notice, Nasdaq indicated that the Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice (or until October 20, 2020) to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company will regain compliance if at any time before October 20, 2020, the Company’s MVLS closes at or above $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting, in which case the Company will have the right to appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel of the Nasdaq. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
