Faraday Future Announces Nasdaq Delisting Determination and Intention to Appeal
April 26 2024 - 5:39PM
Business Wire
Faraday Future Intelligent Electric Inc. (“Faraday Future” or
the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FFIE), a California-based global shared
intelligent electric mobility ecosystem company, today announced
that it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
(“Nasdaq”) dated April 24, 2024, indicating that the Company was
not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), as
the Company’s securities had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less
for ten consecutive trading days. The letter indicated that, as a
result, the Nasdaq staff has determined to delist the Company’s
securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Delisting
Determination”).
As previously reported, on December 28, 2023, Nasdaq notified
the Company that the bid price of its listed securities had closed
at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive
business days and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule
5550(a)(2). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until
June 25, 2024, to regain compliance with this rule.
Additionally, on April 18, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company
that since it had not yet filed its Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2023, it no longer complied with Listing Rule
5250(c)(1). Pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(A), this deficiency
is now an additional basis for delisting.
The Company intends to request a hearing to appeal the Delisting
Determination by May 1, 2024, the latest date permitted, which will
stay the suspension of the Company’s securities for 15 days from
the date of the request, during which time the Company’s securities
will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The
Company also intends to request an extended stay of the suspension
pending such hearing with Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel.
If the Company fails to appeal the Delisting Determination by
May 1, 2024, trading of the Company’s common stock will be
suspended at the opening of business on May 3, 2024, and a Form
25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and
registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Company is considering all potential options available to it
to regain compliance with the aforementioned rules, including
filing its 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K, timely filing its
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024,
and seeking stockholder approval for a reverse stock split.
