Item3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on August 4, 2023, Biotricity Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the $35 million minimum requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), Nasdaq granted the Company 180 calendar days, or until January 29, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance MVLS Requirement.
On January 30, 2024, the Company received a delisting determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by the Compliance Date because the Company’s MVLS did not close at or above $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to the Compliance Date. As a result, unless the Company requests an appeal of the Staff’s determination, trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market will be suspended at the opening of business on February 8, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Company intends to submit a hearing request to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. A hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of a Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. At the hearing, the Company intends to present a plan to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.
