Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Envirotech Vehicles, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 17, 2025, on November 12, 2025, Melissa Barcellos informed the Company that she would not stand for re-election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) upon expiration of her current term as a Class II director at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2025 Annual Meeting”). The 2025 Annual Meeting was reconvened and held on February 3, 2026, after being adjourned on each of December 30, 2025, and January 20, 2026, due to a lack of quorum.
On February 9, 2026, the Company notified The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, due to the resignation of Ms. Barcellos from the Board and its committees effective as of the 2025 Annual Meeting, the Company was no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), requiring that a majority of the Board consist of independent directors, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), requiring that the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) consist of at least three members meeting the criteria set forth therein.
On February 12, 2026, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq confirming the availability of the cure period under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1)(A) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), permitting the Company to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) by the earlier of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders or February 3, 2027, or, if the next annual meeting of stockholders is held before August 3, 2026, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than August 3, 2026.
The Company intends to regain compliance as soon as possible and the Board will add a new independent director who satisfies the applicable requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules prior to the expiration of the cure period described above.
Item 8.01. Other Events
As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 20, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, since the Company had not yet held its annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the Company’s fiscal year end, it no longer complied with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a).
As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 4, 2026, the Company reconvened and held its 2025 Annual Meeting on February 3, 2026.
On February 12, 2026, the Company received notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) and that the matter is now closed.
