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

 

As previously reported, on June 20, 2024, Staffing 360 Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Staff”) indicating that it was no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which such rule requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 or meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations, which the Company does not currently meet.

 

On August 13, 2024, following the Staff’s review of the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement submitted on June 14, 2024, and August 5, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) indicating that the Staff has determined to deny the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq. Pursuant to the Notice, based on the preliminary nature of the Company’s plan, the Staff determined that the Company did not provide a definitive plan evidencing its ability to achieve near term compliance with the continued listing requirements or sustain such compliance over an extended period of time.

 

Unless the Company requests an appeal of this Staff’s determination by August 20, 2024, trading of the Company’s securities will be suspended at the opening of business on August 22, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Stock Market.

 

The Company currently intends to timely request a hearing before the Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s determination, which such request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities with Nasdaq and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq, or that such hearing, if granted, will be successful.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the “safe harbor” provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are forward-looking statements. When used in this Current Report on Form 8-K, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions), as they relate to the Company or its management team, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the Company’s ability to successfully appeal a delisting determination and the Company’s ability to resolve the deficiency under the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements for revisions or changes after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, except as required by law.
