Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On December 14, 2022, Lightning eMotors, Inc., or the Company, received a written notice from the New York Stock Exchange, or the NYSE, that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, as the average closing price of the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period ended December 9, 2022. The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s compliance with the NYSE’s other continued listing requirements.
The Company responded to the NYSE with respect to its intent to cure the deficiency. The Company intends to consider available alternatives, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to stockholder approval no later than at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, if necessary, to regain compliance. Pursuant to Section 802.01C, the Company has a period of six months following the receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. Section 802.01C also provides for an exception to the six-month cure period if the action required to cure the price condition requires stockholder approval, in which case, the action needs to be approved by no later than the Company’s next annual stockholder’s meeting. The Company may regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the six-month 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. If the Company is unable to regain compliance with the $1.00 share price rule within this period, the NYSE will initiate procedures to suspend and delist the Common Stock. The NYSE can take accelerated delisting action in the event that it determines that the common stock trades at levels that it views to be abnormally low.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
As required by Section 802.01C, the Company issued a press release on December 16, 2022, announcing that it had received the notice from the NYSE described in Item 3.01 and that the Company intends to regain compliance.
A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information in Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is intended to be furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
