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

On May 2, 2025, SmartRent, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that it is not in compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing share price of the Company’s Class A common stock as of May 2, 2025 was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.

As required by the NYSE, the Company intends to provide timely notice to the NYSE of its intent to regain compliance with the NYSE minimum share price requirement, which may include, if necessary, effecting a reverse stock split, subject to the approval of the board of directors and stockholders of the Company. The Company can regain compliance at any time within a six-month period following receipt of the Notice if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the Company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month.

The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s Class A common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the six-month cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing standards of the NYSE. The Company intends to continually monitor the closing share price of its Class A common stock throughout the cure period and, as appropriate, will evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. In the event the Company fails to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement, the Company’s Class A common stock will be subject to NYSE’s suspension and delisting procedures.
