Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 1, 2026, Smart Powerr Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the closing price for the Company’s common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company was no longer in compliance with the requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). Further, the Notice stated that, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company was not eligible for any compliance period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) due to the fact that the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period.
The Notice stated that the Company’s securities will be suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on May 12, 2026, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market, unless the Company requests an appeal of such determination to Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by May 8, 2026. The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel. The hearing request will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period if granted by the Panel following the hearing. In the event that the Company regains compliance with the Bid Price Rule prior to any scheduled hearing date, then a hearing may not be necessary, as the Company may be mooted out of the hearings process. The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Bid Price Rule and remain listed on Nasdaq, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to regain compliance and thereafter maintain its listing on Nasdaq.
