As previously disclosed, on December 13, 2023, UG Construction, Inc. d/b/a Emerald Construction Management, Inc. (“UG Construction”), a wholly owned subsidiary of urban-gro, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into an asset based revolving Loan Agreement (the “Line of Credit”) with Gemini Finance Corp. (“Lender”), pursuant to which Lender extended to UG Construction a secured line of credit in an amount not to exceed $10,000,000. Also as previously disclosed, on July 31, 2025, the Lender issued a notice of default to UG Construction claiming that UG Construction was in default under the Line of Credit. The notice indicated that the remaining outstanding amount due under the Line of Credit of approximately $1.76 million is immediately due and payable with default of 1% per week accruing from the June 16, 2025 date of default claimed by the Lender.

On August 21, 2025, the Company received a notification from the Lender stating that the Lender would proceed with a foreclosure and private sale of substantially all of the assets of UG Construction in an Article 9 sale process, pursuant to Section 9601 et seq. of the California Commercial Code (the “Asset Sale”). The Asset Sale is expected to occur on September 4, 2025.

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

As previously reported, on May 21, 2025, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company had not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-Q”) or its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”), the Company continued to be out of compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

On August 18, 2025, the Company received a determination letter (the “Determination”) from Nasdaq stating that Nasdaq had determined that the Company did not file the Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q by August 15, 2025, the date required for the delinquent filings by an exception previously received from Nasdaq staff. The Determination stated that, as a result, unless that Company timely requests an appeal, the trading of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) will be suspended at the opening of business on August 27, 2025 and (iii) a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the SEC, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

The Determination also stated that the Company is not in compliance (i) with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) due to the Company’s delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2025, and (ii) with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million. As previously reported, on February 24, 2025, Nasdaq notified the Company that it was not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) due to having stockholders’ equity of less than $2.5 million.

The Determination informed the Company that it may appeal the decision to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). If the Company chooses to appeal, the request must be received by Nasdaq no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 25, 2025. The Company intends to request a hearing before the Panel, and this request will stay the suspension of the Company’s Common Stock for a period of 15 days from the date of the request. In connection with this request, the Company plans to also request a stay of the suspension pending the hearing (the “Additional Stay”).

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5250(c)(1) and/or 5550(b)(1), or will otherwise be in compliance with other applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, that the request for the Additional Stay will be granted, or that the Company’s appeal of the delisting determination will be successful.

You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that will be described in the “Risk Factors” section of the documents to be filed by the Company from time to time with the SEC.
