Electriq Power Holdings, Inc. Announces Receipt of Continued Listing Standard Notice from NYSE

Electriq Power Holdings, Inc. (“Electriq”) (NYSE: ELIQ) received written notice on November 22, 2023, from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that Electriq is not in compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards, which require it to maintain: (i) a minimum average closing price of at least $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30-day trading period (“Minimum Stock Price Standard”) and (ii) an average market capitalization of at least $50.0 million over a consecutive 30-day trading period and, at the same time, a total stockholders’ equity equal to or greater than $50.0 million (“Minimum Market Capitalization Standard”).

Electriq plans to notify the NYSE by December 7, 2023 of its receipt of the notice and that it intends to submit a plan to cure the Minimum Market Capitalization Standard deficiency.

Minimum Stock Price Standard

The NYSE provides a period of six months, or until Electriq’s next annual meeting of stockholders if stockholder approval is required, (the “Cure Period”) following receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the minimum stock price requirement for continued listing on the NYSE. Electriq can regain compliance at any time during the Cure Period if, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the Cure Period, Electriq has: (i) a closing stock price of at least $1.00 and (ii) an average closing stock price of at least $1.00 over the 30-day trading period ending on the last trading day of that month.

Minimum Market Capitalization Standard

The NYSE provides a period of 45 days from receipt of the notice to submit a plan advising the NYSE of definitive actions Electriq has taken, or is taking, that would bring it into compliance with the market capitalization listing standard within 18 months of receipt of the notice. Electriq is currently evaluating its available options and developing a plan to regain compliance with the minimum global market capitalization requirement.

The NYSE notification does not affect Electriq’s business operations or its Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reporting requirements.
