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

As previously reported, on October 4, 2023, Forza X1, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (August 22, 2023 through October 3, 2023), the Company’s common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until April 1, 2024, to regain compliance.

The Company did not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by April 1, 2024; however, on April 2, 2024, the Company received written notification from Nasdaq granting the Company’s request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved automatically and without further action if the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time prior to September 30, 2024, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the matter will be closed.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by September 30, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the hearings panel, that such appeal would be successful.

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its common stock and is considering available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split to maintain its Nasdaq listing.

Nasdaq’s extension notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “FRZA.”
