(NASDAQ: SRAX), a financial technology company that unlocks data and insights for publicly traded companies, today announced that on October 14, 2022, the Company received notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) indicating that the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

The Company plans to timely request a hearing before the Panel and, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B), a stay of any further suspension or delisting action by Nasdaq at least pending the issuance of a decision and the expiration of any extension that may be granted by the Panel following the hearing.
At the hearing, the Company will present its plan to evidence compliance with the Filing Requirement and request an extension of time to do so. The Company is diligently working to file all necessary periodic reports with the SEC as soon as practicable; however, there can be no assurance that the Panel will determine to continue the Company’s listing on Nasdaq or that the Company will be able to timely satisfy the terms of any extension that may be granted by the Panel as a result of the hearing.
