ECD Automotive Design, Inc. received a Nasdaq notice stating its common stock closed below $1 per share for a 30-business-day period and therefore failed to satisfy Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The company was given a compliance period that ended on August 4, 2025 and did not regain the required bid price; it also does not meet the minimum stockholders' equity requirements for initial listing and its warrants are subject to delisting under Nasdaq rules.

On August 6, 2025 Nasdaq issued an additional notice saying trading will be suspended at the opening of business on August 15, 2025 and a Form 25-NSE will be filed unless the company requests an appeal by August 13, 2025. The company intends to timely request an appeal, and that hearing request will stay any suspension or delisting action pending the Panel's decision.

ECD Automotive Design, Inc. ha ricevuto un avviso da Nasdaq secondo cui le sue azioni ordinarie hanno chiuso sotto $1 per azione per un periodo di 30 giorni lavorativi e quindi non hanno rispettato la Regola di quotazione 5550(a)(2). Alla società è stato concesso un periodo di conformità terminato il 4 agosto 2025 e non ha recuperato il prezzo minimo richiesto; inoltre non soddisfa i requisiti minimi di patrimonio netto per la quotazione iniziale e i suoi warrant sono soggetti a esclusione dalla quotazione secondo le regole di Nasdaq.

Il 6 agosto 2025 Nasdaq ha emesso un ulteriore avviso comunicando che le negoziazioni saranno sospese all'apertura del mercato il 15 agosto 2025 e che sarà presentato un Modulo 25‑NSE a meno che la società non richieda un ricorso entro il 13 agosto 2025. La società intende presentare tempestivamente il ricorso e tale richiesta di udienza sospenderà qualsiasi misura di sospensione o esclusione in attesa della decisione del Panel.

ECD Automotive Design, Inc. recibió una notificación de Nasdaq indicando que sus acciones ordinarias cerraron por debajo de $1 por acción durante un período de 30 días hábiles y, por tanto, no cumplió la Norma de Listado 5550(a)(2). Se le otorgó un periodo de cumplimiento que terminó el 4 de agosto de 2025 y no recuperó el precio de cotización requerido; además, no cumple los requisitos mínimos de patrimonio neto para la inscripción inicial y sus warrants están sujetos a exclusión de cotización conforme a las normas de Nasdaq.

El 6 de agosto de 2025 Nasdaq emitió un aviso adicional indicando que las negociaciones se suspenderán al inicio de la sesión el 15 de agosto de 2025 y que se presentará un Formulario 25‑NSE a menos que la compañía solicite una apelación antes del 13 de agosto de 2025. La compañía tiene la intención de solicitar la apelación dentro del plazo; dicha solicitud de audiencia suspenderá cualquier medida de suspensión o exclusión en espera de la decisión del Panel.

ECD Automotive Design, Inc.는 보통주가 30영업일 동안 주당 $1 미만으로 마감했다는 이유로 나스닥으로부터 상장 규정 5550(a)(2)를 충족하지 못했다는 통지를 받았습니다. 회사에는 2025년 8월 4일에 종료된 적합성 기간이 부여되었으나 요구된 매도호가를 회복하지 못했으며, 초기 상장을 위한 최소 주주 지분 요건도 충족하지 않아 그 워런트는 나스닥 규정에 따라 상장폐지 대상입니다.

나스닥은 2025년 8월 6일 추가 통지를 발행하여 2025년 8월 15일 영업 개시 시 거래가 정지될 것이며, 회사가 2025년 8월 13일까지 항소를 요청하지 않을 경우 Form 25‑NSE가 제출될 것이라고 밝혔습니다. 회사는 기한 내에 항소를 요청할 계획이며, 해당 심리 요청은 패널의 결정이 내려질 때까지 모든 정지 또는 상장폐지 조치를 유예시킬 것입니다.

ECD Automotive Design, Inc. a reçu un avis du Nasdaq indiquant que son action ordinaire a clôturé en dessous de 1 $ par action pendant une période de 30 jours ouvrables et n'a donc pas respecté la règle de cotation 5550(a)(2). La société a bénéficié d'une période de conformité qui s'est terminée le 4 août 2025 et n'a pas retrouvé le cours requis ; elle ne satisfait pas non plus aux exigences minimales de capitaux propres pour une admission initiale et ses warrants sont susceptibles d'être radiés conformément aux règles du Nasdaq.

Le 6 août 2025, le Nasdaq a émis un avis supplémentaire indiquant que les transactions seraient suspendues à l'ouverture des marchés le 15 août 2025 et qu'un formulaire 25‑NSE serait déposé, sauf si la société demande un appel avant le 13 août 2025. La société a l'intention de demander l'appel en temps utile ; cette demande d'audience suspendra toute mesure de suspension ou de radiation en attendant la décision du Panel.

ECD Automotive Design, Inc. erhielt eine Mitteilung der Nasdaq, dass der Schlusskurs ihrer Stammaktie über einen Zeitraum von 30 Handelstagen unter 1 USD pro Aktie gelegen habe und damit die Listing‑Regel 5550(a)(2) nicht erfüllt wurde. Dem Unternehmen wurde eine Frist zur Wiederherstellung gewährt, die am 4. August 2025 endete; den erforderlichen Kurs hat es nicht wiedererlangt. Zudem erfüllt es nicht die Mindestanforderungen an das Eigenkapital für eine Erstnotierung und seine Warrants unterliegen gemäß den Nasdaq‑Regeln einer Delistung.

Am 6. August 2025 erließ die Nasdaq eine weitere Mitteilung, wonach der Handel mit Beginn des Geschäftstages am 15. August 2025 ausgesetzt werde und ein Formular 25‑NSE eingereicht werde, sofern das Unternehmen nicht bis zum 13. August 2025 Berufung einlegt. Das Unternehmen beabsichtigt, fristgerecht Berufung einzulegen; dieser Antrag auf Anhörung würde jede Aussetzung oder Delisting‑Maßnahme bis zur Entscheidung des Panels aufschieben.

Positive
  • Company intends to appeal the Nasdaq determination, and a hearing request will stay suspension or delisting pending review
  • Trading and listing removal are not immediate while the company pursues the appeals process
Negative
  • Failed to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) after the 180-day cure period ended on August 4, 2025
  • Ineligible for a second 180-day period, limiting available cure options under Nasdaq procedures
  • Does not meet minimum stockholders' equity requirements for initial listing, an additional independent ground for delisting
  • Warrants are subject to delisting pursuant to Listing Rule 5560(a), putting both equity and derivative securities at risk
  • Immediate suspension scheduled at the opening of business on August 15, 2025 unless an appeal is filed by August 13, 2025

Insights

TL;DR This is a material negative: delisting risk may sharply reduce liquidity and market access if not resolved.

The Nasdaq notices confirm the company failed to cure a sustained bid-price deficiency and also lacks required stockholders' equity for initial listing. Nasdaq's timeline creates near-term execution risk: without a successful appeal or rapid compliance, public trading will be suspended and Form 25-NSE filed, which removes the securities from Nasdaq registration. Even with an appeal stay, uncertainty can reduce liquidity, impair capital-raising ability, and depress valuations until resolved.

TL;DR Procedural appeal can delay delisting, but the company faces significant listing-standards hurdles.

The company retains the procedural right to request review by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel; such a request will stay suspension or delisting pending the hearing. However, Nasdaq cited both price-based noncompliance and insufficient stockholders' equity, and the filing notes the company is ineligible for a second 180-day cure period. Remediation will require either restoring the bid price or meeting equity standards, or persuading the Panel of mitigating factors to avoid removal.

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

 

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on February 7, 2025, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) notified ECD Automotive Design, Inc. (the “Company”) that the bid price of its listed security had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until August 4, 2025, to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company has not regained compliance with the Rule and is not eligible for a second 180 day period. In addition, the Company does not comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirements for initial listing per Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii). Additionally, the Company warrants are subject to delisting pursuant to Listing Rule 5560(a).

 

On August 6, 2025, the Company received another notice (the “Additional Notice”) from Nasdaq stating that the Company had not regained compliance with the Rule. Accordingly, unless the Company requests an appeal of the determination before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by August 13, 2025, trading of the Company’s common stock and warrants will be suspended at the opening of business on August 15, 2025, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq. The Company intends to timely request an appeal before the Panel. The hearing request will result in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing.
