Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On July 29, 2022, Cemtrex, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s Series 1 preferred stock listed on Nasdaq was below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company no longer met the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
On January 26, 2023, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, it had been granted an additional 180 days or until July 24, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
On July 25, 2023, the Company received a Notice of Staff Determination from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that its Series 1 Preferred Stock had not gained compliance and would be suspended from trading at the opening of business on August 3, 2023. The Company has requested a hearing regarding the delisting which will stay the suspension and filing of Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The Company intends to continue actively monitoring the bid price for its Series 1 preferred stock between now and the hearing date and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

Re: | Cemtrex
Inc. (the “Company”) – Staff Determination Nasdaq Symbol: CETXP |
Dear Mr. Govil:
As you are aware, on July 29, 2022, Staff notified the Company that the bid price of its Series 1 Preferred Stock 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 5555(a)(1). Therefore, in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until January 24, 2023, to regain compliance with the Rule. Subsequently, on January 26, 2023, the Company was provided an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, or until July 24, 2023, to demonstrate compliance.
The Company has not regained compliance with Listing Rule 5555(a)(1). Accordingly, its securities will be delisted from the Capital Market. In that regard, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination as described below, trading of the Company’s Series 1 Preferred Stock will be suspended at the opening of business on August 3, 2023, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Company may appeal Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Please use the link, “Hearing Requests & Process” on the attached chart for detailed information regarding the hearings process. If you would like additional information regarding the hearings process, please call the Hearings Department at +1 301 978 8203.
A hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel’s decision. Hearing requests should not contain arguments in support of the Company’s position. The Company may request either an oral hearing or a hearing based solely on written submissions. The fee for a hearing is $20,000. Please submit your non- refundable Hearing Request fee in accordance with the instructions provided on the attached “Check Payment Form”.1 The request for a hearing and confirmation of payment should be submitted electronically through our Listing Center2 and must be received by the Hearings Department no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2023.
1 The Form also includes a “link” for payment by wire.

At any time, you may save your work and complete it at a later time. Upon submission, you will receive a confirmation email.

The Company will be asked to provide a plan to regain compliance to the Panel. Accordingly, the Company may wish to consider presenting a plan that includes a discussion of the events that it believes will enable it to regain compliance in this time frame and a commitment to effect a reverse stock split, if necessary.
Listing Rule 5835 prohibits communications relevant to the merits of a proceeding under the Listing Rule 5800 Series between the Company and the Hearings Department unless Staff is provided notice and an opportunity to participate. In that regard, Staff waived its right to participate in any oral communications between the Company and the Hearings Department. Should Staff determine to revoke such waiver, the Company will be immediately notified, and the requirements of Listing Rule 5835 will be strictly enforced.
Our Rules require that the Company promptly disclose receipt of this letter by either filing a Form 8-K, where required by SEC rules, or by issuing a press release. The announcement needs to be made no later than four business days from the date of this letter and must include the continued listing criteria that the Company does not meet, and a description of each specific basis and concern identified by Nasdaq in reaching the determination.3 The Company must also submit the announcement to Nasdaq’s MarketWatch Department.4 If the public announcement is made between the hours of 7:00 AM and 8:00 PM Eastern Time, the Company must submit the announcement to Nasdaq’s MarketWatch Department at least ten minutes prior its public release. If the public announcement is made outside of these hours, the Company must submit the announcement prior to 6:50 A.M. Eastern Time. Please note that if you do not make the required announcement trading in your securities will be halted.5
