Item 8.01. Other Events.
On March 5, 2024, BurgerFi International, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Compliance Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it had regained compliance with the independent director requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) (the “Independent Director Rule”).
On November 7, 2023, the Company received a deficiency letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the previously disclosed resignation of Martha Stewart from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) resulted in noncompliance with the Independent Director Rule as, when the letter was issued, the Board did not have a majority of directors who would be considered “independent directors,” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1)(A), the Company was provided a cure period (i) until the earlier of the Company’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or September 23, 2024 or (ii) if the next annual shareholders’ meeting is held before March 19, 2024, until March 19, 2024 to regain compliance with the independent director requirements.
The Compliance Letter received by the Company on March 5, 2024 indicated that based on information provided regarding a determination of David Heidecorn’s independence, the Company has regained compliance with the Independent Director Rule and Nasdaq considers the matter closed.
