Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on April 14, 2023, LM Funding America, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s consolidated closing bid price has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days as of April 13, 2023, and that, therefore, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which is the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company was afforded 180 days, or until October 11, 2023, to regain compliance.
The Company was unable to regain compliance with the bid price requirement by October 11, 2023. However, on October 12, 2023, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq granting the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until April 8, 2024, to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq determined that the Company is eligible for the second compliance period due to the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq 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.
To regain compliance during the additional time period, the closing bid price of the Company’s security must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted additional 180-day compliance period, the Company’s common stock would be subject to delisting unless it requested a hearing before an independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel. A request for a hearing would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and any additional extension period granted by the Panel.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock and consider its available options to resolve the non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company’s receipt of the notice does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.

Re: LM Funding America, Inc. (the “Company”) Nasdaq Security: Common Stock
Nasdaq Symbol: LMFA Dear Mr. Russell:
As you are aware, on April 14, 2023, we notified you that, based on the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s listed security no longer met the minimum $1 bid price per share requirement. Therefore, in accordance with our Listing Rules (the “Rules”), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until October 11, 2023, to regain compliance.
The listed security has not regained compliance with the minimum $1 bid price per share requirement. However, Staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period,1 or until April 8, 2024, to regain compliance.2 Our determination is 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. If at any time during this additional time period the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, we will provide written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.3 Please note that
1 Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).
2 This second 180 day period relates exclusively to the bid price deficiency. The Company may be delisted during the 180 days for failure to maintain compliance with any other listing requirements for which it is currently on notice or which occurs during this period.
3 Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(F) states that, “Staff may, in its discretion, require a Company to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a period in excess of ten consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that the Company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance. In determining whether to require a Company to meet the minimum $1.00 bid price standard beyond ten business days, Staff will consider the following four factors: (i) margin of compliance (the amount by which the bid price is above the $1.00 minimum standard); (ii) trading volume (a lack of trading volume may indicate a lack of bona fide market interest in the security at the posted bid price); (iii) the Market Maker montage (the number of Market Makers quoting at or above $1.00 and the size of their quotes); and, (iv) the trend of the stock price (is it up or down).”
Mr. Richard Russell October 12, 2023
Page 2
if the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration date in order to timely regain compliance.
If compliance cannot be demonstrated by April 8, 2024, Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Staff’s determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). Please note that if the Company appeals it will be asked to provide a plan to regain compliance to the Panel, and that historically Panels have generally viewed a near-term reverse stock split as the only definitive plan acceptable to resolve a bid price deficiency.4
In addition, an indicator will continue to be broadcast over Nasdaq’s market data dissemination network noting the Company’s non-compliance. The indicator will be displayed with quotation information related to the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.com, NasdaqTrader.com and by other third-party providers of market data information. Also, a list of all non-compliant Nasdaq companies and the reason(s) for such non-compliance is posted on our website at listingcenter.nasdaq.com. The Company will continue to be included in this list.
The Company should consult with counsel regarding disclosure obligations surrounding this letter under the federal securities laws. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at +1 202 441 5613.
Sincerely,
Ellen Ignacio Listing Analyst
