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

 

As previously disclosed in those Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on June 9, 2023 and July 21, 2023 and November 1st , 2023 by NextPlay Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), on June 6, 2023 and July 19, 2023, October 28th, 2023, respectively, the Company received notification letters (the “Nasdaq Notices”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) advising the Company that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended May 31, 2023 and August 31st, 2023, respectively (the “First Form 10-Q” and “Second Form 10Q”, respectively).

 

On January 18th, 2024, the Company received a notice (the “New Nasdaq Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that, as a result of an additional delinquency in the timely filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended November 30th, 2023 (the “Third Form Form 10-Q”), as well as not having timely filed the First Form and Second Form 10-Q and Form 10-K (together with the Third Form 10-Q, the “Regular Reports”) the Company remains out of compliance with the Rule which requires timely filing of all required periodic financial reports with the Commission.

 

The Company has appealed against the delisting notice and a hearing is scheduled with NASDAQ on February 27th, 2024, to determine the listing status of the Company. There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s updated plan to regain compliance or that the Company will be successful in implementing its plan to regain compliance with the Rule, by filing all the Regular Reports with the Commission.

 

Forward Looking Statement.

 

The Company cautions you that statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) that are not a description of historical facts are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “could,” “intend,” “target,” “project,” “contemplates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negatives of these terms or other similar expressions. These statements are based on the Company’s current beliefs and expectations. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding the Company’s ability to regain and maintain compliance with the listing standards of Nasdaq. The inclusion of forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by the Company that any of its plans will be achieved. Actual results may differ from those set forth in this Report due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in the Company’s business. These forward-looking statements, including the Company’s ability to regain and/or maintain compliance with the Rule, are based on information currently available to the Company and its current plans or expectations and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could significantly affect its current plans to file periodic reports with the Commission. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes No obligation to revise or update this Report to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. All forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. This caution is made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
