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

 

On June 6, 2019, ShiftPixy, Inc. (the “Company”) received two letters from the staff of the Listing Qualification Department (the “Staff”) of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), which notified the Company that (1) for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and (2) that it is no longer in compliance with the Minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (the ”MVLS”) of $35,000,000 requirement for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market under NASDAQ’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”).

 

The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) and 5810(c)(3)(C), if during the 180 calendar days following the date of the notifications, or prior to December 3, 2019, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at or above $1.00 and the MVLS is at or above $35,000,000 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance.

 

If the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by December 3, 2019, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar days compliance period if the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, the Staff would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its securities, but the Staff may refuse to grant the Company’s request for continued listing.

 

There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully regain compliance with either the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or the MVLS Requirement rules within the extension period, or at all. The Company disclaims any intention to update this Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any action or response that the Company may decide to take after the filing of this report, unless required by law, rule, or regulation.
