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

 

On April 8, 2024, Banzai International, Inc. (the “Company”) filed the original Current Report on Form 8K to report that on April 3, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff at The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq” or the “Staff”) notifying the Company that for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Letter, the Company’s Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) was below the minimum of $15 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C).

 

On November 7, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq noting that the Company transferred to the Capital Markets tier and since then, the Staff determined that for the last 10 consecutive trading days, from October 24, 2024 to November 6, 2024, the Company’s MVPHS has been $1,000,000 or greater and therefore the Company regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(5) and the matter is closed.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

On November 11, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing compliance with the rule at issue. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.
