Nxu Receives Bid Price and Equity Compliance Confirmation From Nasdaq

Nxu Inc. (NASDAQ: NXU) (“Nxu”, “the Company”), a domestic technology company developing and manufacturing innovative EV charging and energy storage solutions for the infrastructure we need to power our electrified future, announced that on Feb. 13, 2024, the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) confirmed that the Company has sufficiently demonstrated compliance with the bid price requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (“Bid Price Rule”) and regained compliance with the equity requirement in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (“Equity Rule”) pursuant to the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (“Panel”) decision dated Dec. 18, 2023 (“Hearing Decision”). Nxu presented its compliance plan to the Panel on Dec. 14, 2023, and the Panel gave the Company until April 7, 2024, to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule and Equity Rule.

“The plan we presented to Nasdaq in December was thorough and decisive,” said Mark Hanchett, Chairman and CEO at Nxu. “Our dedication to timely executing that plan is obvious, as Nasdaq has acknowledged both bid price and equity compliance. We look forward to working with Nasdaq to remain in compliance for the foreseeable future.”

For the Equity Rule only, the Company will be subject to a mandatory hearing panel monitor for a period of one year. During the one-year monitoring period, if the Company is again out of compliance with the Equity Rule, it will not be afforded an additional cure or compliance period. If issued a new delist determination letter, the Company would have the opportunity to again request a new hearing before the Panel. As soon as the Company demonstrates compliance with the annual shareholders meeting requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815 (d)(4)(C) (“Annual Meeting Rule”), it will have fully regained compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements.
