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

 

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 12, 2019, on September 6, 2019, DropCar, Inc. (the “Company”) received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company did not comply with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Listing Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, the Company was afforded 180 calendar days (until March 4, 2020) to regain compliance with the Listing Rule.

 

On March 5, 2020, the Company received notification from the Listing Qualification Department of Nasdaq that it had not regained compliance with the Listing Rule. The notification indicated that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination. The Company intends to request a hearing to appeal the determination with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which will stay the delisting of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision.

 

The Company’s appeal to the Panel will include a plan that sets forth a commitment to consider all available options to regain compliance with the Listing Rule, including the option to effectuate a reverse stock split upon receipt of stockholder approval, which the Company intends to seek in connection with the joint proxy statement and consent solicitation statement/prospectus filed with the SEC on February 14, 2020 in connection with the Company’s previously announced proposed merger with Ayro, Inc. (“Ayro”) (as described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 20, 2019), in order to bring its stock price over the $1.00 bid price requirement and to meet the $4.00 bid price initial listing requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in regaining compliance with the Listing Rule.

 

The Nasdaq notification has no effect at this time, or during the appeal period, on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq.

These statements may discuss goals, intentions and expectations as to future plans, trends, events, results of operations or financial condition, or otherwise, based on current beliefs of the management of DropCar, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management.

Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current beliefs and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results could differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement as a result of various factors, including, without limitation: the risk that the conditions to the closing of the transaction are not satisfied, including the failure to obtain stockholder approval for the transaction in a timely manner or at all; uncertainties as to the timing of the consummation of the transaction and the ability of each of DropCar and Ayro to consummate the transaction; risks related to DropCar’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market until closing of the proposed transaction; risks related to DropCar’s ability to correctly estimate its operating expenses and its expenses associated with the transaction; the ability of DropCar or Ayro to protect their respective intellectual property rights; competitive responses to the transaction; unexpected costs, charges or expenses resulting from the transaction; potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction; and legislative, regulatory, political and economic developments. The foregoing review of important factors that could cause actual events to differ from expectations should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with statements that are included herein and elsewhere, including the risk factors included in DropCar’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the SEC. DropCar can give no assurance that the conditions to the transaction will be satisfied. Except as required by applicable law, DropCar undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statement, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
