Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on August 4, 2022, Stryve Foods, Inc. (the “Company”), received written notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the bid price for the Company’s Class A common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share and, as a result, the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for the continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”).
On February 1, 2023, the Company received written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq, granting the Company’s request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance the Bid Price Rule. The Company now has until July 31, 2023 to meet the requirement. If at any time prior to July 31, 2023, the bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule during the additional 180-day extension, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its Class A common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the hearings panel, that such appeal would be successful.
Nasdaq’s extension notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s Class A common stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SNAX”. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its Class A common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, such as a reverse stock split.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
To clarify recent media and social media reports, the Company did not acquire Quevos and Quevos is not associated with Stryve or any of its subsidiaries. Rather, Joe Oblas, our former Chief Growth Officer, acquired Quevos.
