Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On December 10, 2024, Know Labs, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) that it had accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards and granted a plan period through March 27, 2026 (“Extension Date”). As previously disclosed on September 27, 2024, the Company received a letter from the NYSE American stating that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide, which require stockholders’ equity of $4.0 million or more if the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of the four most recent fiscal years and $6.0 million or more if the Company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had stockholders’ deficit of $4.6 million and has had losses in the most recent five fiscal years ended September 30, 2023.
During the plan period, the Company will be subject to periodic review by the NYSE American to determine if it is making progress consistent with the plan. If the Company does not regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards by the Extension Date, or if the Company does not make sufficient progress consistent with its plan, then the NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings.
The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American during the plan period pursuant to an extension, subject to the Company's compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE American. The Company's receipt of such notification from the NYSE American does not affect the Company's business, operations or reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company can provide no assurances that it will be able to make progress with respect to its plan that NYSE American will determine to be satisfactory, that it will regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide on or before the Extension Date, or that developments and events occurring subsequent to the Company’s formulation of the plan or its acceptance by the NYSE American will not adversely affect the Company’s ability to make sufficient progress and/or regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide on or before the Deadline Date or result in the Company’s failure to be in compliance with other NYSE American continued listing standards.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On December 11, 2024, the Company issued a press release regarding the NYSE American’s acceptance of the Company’s compliance plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
