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

 

As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2023, Biotricity Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the $35 million minimum requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), Nasdaq granted the Company 180 calendar days, or until January 29, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.

 

As also previously disclosed, on January 30, 2024, the Company received a delisting determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by the Compliance Date because the Company’s MVLS did not close at or above $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to the Compliance Date. The Company submitted a hearing request to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination, which stayed the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of a Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. A hearing was held on April 9, 2024, at which time the Company presented a plan to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement.

 

On April 23, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Panel granted its request to continue its listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company meeting certain milestones including an increase in its outstanding shares of common stock through the issuance of shares of stock in certain stock offerings and upon the conversion of certain convertible securities, the receipt of shareholder approval of certain actions and on or before July 29, 2024, the Company regaining compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
