| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing |
On August 20, 2024, Hanryu Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a delinquency compliance alert notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) advising the Company that due to the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 (the “Q2 2024 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires the timely filing of all required periodic reports with the SEC.
As previously reported, on April 18, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that it no longer complied with the Rule as it had not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) for the period ended December 31, 2023 (“Initial Delinquent Filing”). The Company has since filed its Form 10-K on July 16, 2024, but as result of the Initial Delinquent Filing, any additional exception to allow the Company to regain compliance with all subsequent delinquent filings, is limited to a maximum of 180 calendar days from the due date of the Initial Delinquent Filing, or October 14, 2024.
With respect to the Q2 2024 10-Q, Nasdaq provided the Company until September 4, 2024, to submit an update to its original plan to regain compliance with the Rule (the “Plan”). The Company intends to submit the Plan to Nasdaq by September 4, 2024.
