Item 8.01.    Other Events.
On July 31, 2023, Latch, Inc. (the “Company”) notified the hearings panel (the “Panel”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company does not anticipate filing the Delinquent Reports (as defined below) to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) on or before August 4, 2023 (the “Deadline”).

As previously disclosed, the Company received notices from Nasdaq (i) on August 11, 2022, November 14, 2022 and May 16, 2023 regarding the Company’s failure to file its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2022, September 30, 2022 and March 31, 2023, respectively, and (ii) on April 6, 2023 regarding the Company’s failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (collectively, the “Delinquent Reports”).

The Company presented a plan to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”) with its periodic filing obligations under the Listing Rule at a March 23, 2023 hearing before the Panel. As set forth in the Compliance Plan, the Company intended to regain compliance with the Listing Rule by filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on or before the Deadline, each of the Delinquent Reports. On April 5, 2023, the Company received a decision from the Panel granting the Company’s request for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Select Market, subject to the Company demonstrating compliance with the Listing Rule on or before the Deadline, and certain other conditions.

The Company’s previously disclosed effort to restate its historical consolidated financial statements for 2019, 2020, 2021 and the first quarter of 2022 (the “Restatement”) remains ongoing, and the Company does not anticipate that the Restatement will be complete prior to the Deadline. As a result, the Company is unable to file each of the Delinquent Reports by the Deadline. The Company continues to work diligently towards regaining compliance with the Listing Rule and completing the Restatement as soon as practicable.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Listing Rule by the Deadline, it expects Nasdaq to issue a delisting determination, causing the Company’s securities to be suspended from trading on Nasdaq. Following a suspension of trading in the Company’s securities on Nasdaq, the Company expects that its securities will be traded on the OTC Expert Market.

On August 1, 2023 the Company issued a press release related to the information provided above (the “Press Release”). A copy of the Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including: (i) the Company’s ability to complete the Restatement, and any impact of the July 2023 reduction in force thereon; (ii) the performance of the Company’s stock, especially in light of the limited liquidity and depressed trading prices expected as a result of the delisting from Nasdaq; (iii) the Company’s ability to implement business plans and changes and developments in the industry in which the Company competes, including successfully integrating Honest Day’s Work into its operations following the July 3, 2023 closing of the acquisition thereof (the “HDW Acquisition”); (iv) the Company’s ability to repay the $22 million aggregate principal amount of promissory notes issued in connection with the HDW Acquisition, for which delisting from Nasdaq as of April 15, 2024 is an event of default; (v) the Company’s ability to preserve cash given the costs and liabilities associated with the restatement and any related legal proceedings; (vi) the Company’s ability


to access liquidity, through the capital markets or otherwise; and (vii) the Company’s response to any of the aforementioned factors. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Report. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and the Company assumes no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law, including the securities laws of the United States and the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Company does not give any assurance that it will achieve its expectations.

Exhibit 99.1
Latch Notifies Nasdaq That It Does Not Anticipate Meeting Delinquent Filing Deadline
The company remains committed to building a disciplined and efficient business that makes spaces better places to live, work, and visit

NEW YORK - August 1, 2023 - Latch, Inc. (NASDAQ: LTCH) today announced it has notified the hearings panel of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the company does not anticipate regaining compliance with its periodic filing obligations on or before its August 4, 2023 deadline due to unexpected delays in the ongoing restatement of its historical financial statements. As a result, Latch expects Nasdaq to issue a delisting determination, causing the company’s securities to be suspended from trading on Nasdaq. Once the suspension takes effect, Latch expects that its securities will be traded on the OTC Expert Market. The transition to the OTC markets will not change Latch’s commitment to enhancing operational discipline and efficiency within the organization.

As of July 31, 2023, the company’s total cash and cash equivalents and current and non-current available-for-sale securities was approximately $192 million.1 As announced on July 10, 2023, the company has commenced a reduction in force of approximately 59% of its full-time employees, which it expects to complete by November 1, 2023. These strategic measures, along with the recently announced senior management additions, are intended to build a solid foundation for future growth.

“Latch has, and will continue to, work diligently to complete the restatement and remains committed to regaining compliance with its periodic filing obligations as soon as possible,” said Latch’s Interim CEO, Jason Keyes. “Despite these unforeseen delays related to the restatement, I remain excited about Latch’s future. As always, the company is committed to providing excellent products and services to its customers.”

As previously announced, Jamie Siminoff and Dave Lillis are expected to be appointed as the company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, later this year.
