Item 8.01 | Other Events. |
As previously reported by Digital Brands Group, Inc. (the “Company”) on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 26, 2023, on May 23, 2023, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notified the Company that it had determined to delist the Company’s shares as the Company no longer satisfied the market value of listed securities requirement, or the alternative stockholders’ equity requirement, for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. On May 30, 2023, the Company requested a hearing before the Panel. On June 28, 2023 and as previously reported by the Company on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 30, 2023, Nasdaq issued an additional delist determination based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The hearing was held on July 13, 2023, and by decision dated July 27, 2023, the Panel granted the Company’s request for an extension to evidence compliance with all applicable continued listing criteria, through September 15, 2023.
On September 20, 2023, the Company was formally notified by Nasdaq that it has evidenced full compliance with all requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, including the bid price and stockholders’ equity requirements.
The Company will remain subject to a “Panel Monitor” as that term is defined under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A), through September 20, 2024. Under the terms of the Panel Monitor, in the event the Company fails to satisfy any requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market during the monitoring period, the Company will be required to request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) in order to maintain its listing rather than taking the interim step of submitting a compliance plan for the Listing Qualifications Staff’s review or receiving any otherwise applicable grace period.
