Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 28, 2023 (the “December 28 8-K”), on December 26, 2023, Velo3D, Inc. (the “Company”) received informal notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the NYSE would be sending the Company a written notice (the “Notice”) that the Company is below compliance criteria pursuant to the continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual as the average closing price of the Company’s common stock is less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The disclosure contained in Item 3.01 of the December 28 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
On December 28, 2023, the Company received the Notice from the NYSE. In accordance with applicable NYSE procedures, the Company plans to notify the NYSE of its intent to cure the deficiency. Pursuant to Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company will have a period of six months following the receipt of the Notice to regain compliance with the Minimum Share Price Requirement.
The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the applicable cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements of the NYSE and will not affect the ongoing business operations of the Company or its reporting requirements with the Commission. However, failure to satisfy the conditions of the cure period or to maintain other NYSE listing requirements could lead to a delisting.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 3, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The information set forth under this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Exhibit 99.1
Velo3D, Inc. Receives Continued Listing Standards Notice from the NYSE
CAMPBELL, Calif, January 3, 2024-- Velo3D, Inc. (NYSE: VLD), a leading metal additive manufacturing technology company for mission-critical parts, today announced it was notified on December 28, 2023 by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with Rule 802.01C of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual (“Rule 802.01C”) relating to the minimum average closing price of the Company’s common stock required over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE.
The Company intends to notify the NYSE within 10 business days of its intent to regain compliance with Rule 802.01C. The Company can regain compliance at any time within the six-month cure period if, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period, the common stock 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 Company fully intends to remain listed on the NYSE, and will consider the best available alternatives, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to stockholder approval, if necessary to regain compliance.
The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE during the six-month cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements.
About Velo3D:
Velo3D is a metal 3D printing technology company. 3D printing—also known as additive manufacturing (AM)—has a unique ability to improve the way high-value metal parts are built. However, legacy metal AM has been greatly limited in its capabilities since its invention almost 30 years ago. This has prevented the technology from being used to create the most valuable and impactful parts, restricting its use to specific niches where the limitations were acceptable.
Velo3D has overcome these limitations so engineers can design and print the parts they want. The company’s solution unlocks a wide breadth of design freedom and enables customers in space exploration, aviation, power generation, energy, and semiconductor to innovate the future in their respective industries. Using Velo3D, these customers can now build mission-critical metal parts that were previously impossible to manufacture. The fully integrated solution includes the Flow print preparation software, the Sapphire family of printers, and the Assure quality control system—all of which are powered by Velo3D’s Intelligent Fusion manufacturing process. The company delivered its first Sapphire system in 2018 and has been a strategic partner to innovators such as SpaceX, Honeywell, Honda, Chromalloy, and Lam Research. Velo3D has been named as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies for 2023. For more information, please visit Velo3D.com, or follow the company on LinkedIn or Twitter.
