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

 

As previously disclosed by ClearSign Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 4, 2022, the Company received a letter (the “Initial Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) on November 1, 2022, indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the required minimum bid price of $1 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) as required under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Initial Notice provided the Company with 180 calendar days, or until May 1, 2023, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

 

On May 2, 2023, the Company received a second letter from Nasdaq granting the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until October 30, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Notice”).

 

Nasdaq further stated in the Notice that its determination to grant an extension was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

 

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CLIR.”
