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

 

On August 21, 2024, Yoshiharu Global Co., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a notification letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that its amount of stockholders’ equity has fallen below the $2,500,000 required minimum for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The Letter also noted that the Company does not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations, and therefore, the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s Listing Rules.

 

Under Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has until October 7, 2024 to provide Nasdaq with a specific plan to achieve and sustain compliance with all Nasdaq listing requirements. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan for compliance, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Letter to evidence compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan to achieve compliance, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. A hearing request will stay the suspension and delisting of the Company’s securities pending the Nasdaq Hearings Panel’s decision.

 

The Company is evaluating various courses of action to achieve compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) or that the Company will be able meet the continued listing requirements during any compliance period that may be granted by Nasdaq.

 

The Company, by filing this Current Report on Form 8-K, discloses its receipt of the notification from Nasdaq in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b).

Examples of forward-looking statements in this current report include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans, strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, without limitation, that there can be no assurance that the Company will meet Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) during any compliance period or otherwise in the future, that there can be no assurance that the Company will otherwise meet Nasdaq compliance standards, that there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will grant the Company any relief from delisting as necessary or whether the Company can agree to or ultimately meet applicable Nasdaq requirements for any such relief, and the other important factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the year ended December 31, 2023 and its other filings with the SEC.
