Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On October 3, 2023, AYRO, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that it had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The information in this Item 7.01 of Form 8-K (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of the general incorporation language of such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

As previously reported, on October 3, 2022, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), for the 30 consecutive business day period between August 19, 2022 and September 30, 2022, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

 

The letter also indicated that the Company would be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until April 3, 2023, in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). On April 4, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Company has been granted an additional 180-day period, or until October 2, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

 

On October 2, 2023, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq stating that because the Common Stock had a closing bid price at or above $1.00 per share for the last 10 consecutive business days, from September 18 to September 29, 2023, the Company has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and that the matter is now closed.
