Subsequent Events NOTE 15 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing. On October 27, 2023, Pineapple Energy Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market informing it that because the closing bid price for its common stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 per share for the last 31 consecutive business days, it did not comply with the minimum closing bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Company had a period of 180 calendar days, or until April 24, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule.

 

Additionally, on February 27, 2024, the Staff issued another notice (the “February Notice”) notifying the Company that its common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for 10 consecutive trading days (February 12, 2024 to February 26, 2024). Accordingly, the Company is subject to the provisions contemplated under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the “Low Priced Stock Rule”). As a result, the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq effective as of the opening of business on March 7, 2024, unless the Company requested an appeal before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) of the Staff’s determination by March 5, 2024. The Company requested a hearing before the Panel to appeal the February Notice, and Nasdaq initially scheduled the hearing for April 30, 2024. Subsequently, the Company was granted an expedited review process and extension as described below, and received notice that an oral hearing was not necessary.

 

Following the Company’s Special Meeting of Shareholders that was held on April 12, 2024, at which the reverse stock split proposal was not approved, the Company provided the Panel with an update on the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule and an extension request until July 24, 2024. On April 19, 2024, the Panel granted an extension for the Company to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Rule until July 24, 2024, conditioned upon:

the Company obtaining shareholder approval for a reverse stock split that satisfies the Minimum Bid Rule by July 1, 2024; and

the Company effecting the reverse stock split by July 11, 2024 and maintaining a $1.00 closing bid price or more for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days by July 24, 2024.

 

The Company intends to hold its 2024 annual meeting on July 1, 2024, in part, to comply with the conditions of the extension. However, failure to meet any of the terms of this extension could result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market.
