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

 

On March 18, 2024, LAMF Global Ventures Corp. I (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company no longer complies with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Rule”) for continued listing on Nasdaq. Under the Rule, the Company is required to maintain at least 400 total holders (the “Total Holder Requirement”).

 

The Notice indicates that the Company has 45 calendar days (the “Deadline”) to submit a plan (the “Compliance Plan”) to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Compliance Plan, Nasdaq can grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Compliance Plan, the Company may appeal the decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Rule.

 

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

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

The disclosure herein includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, regaining compliance with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2). These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including: the risk that the Company is unable to submit the Compliance Plan to Nasdaq within the specified period, or that the Compliance Plan is not accepted by Nasdaq; those factors discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause the Company’s assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this disclosure statement. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
