Exhibit 99.1

 

 

Vision Marine Technologies Inc. Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Requirements

 

Montreal, Canada – November 7, 2024 – Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: VMAR) a pioneer in electric marine propulsion, is pleased to announce that the Company received a compliance notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”) informing the Company that it has regained compliance with the bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This compliance fulfils the requirements outlined by the Panel in its decision dated October 3, 2024.

 

The Notice further stated that, pursuant to Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of the Notice to ensure that the Company maintains long-term compliance with all of the continued listing requirements (the “Requirements”). If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds that the Company is no longer in compliance with any Requirement, then, notwithstanding Nasdaq Rule 5815(d)(4)(A), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to such deficiency and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to such deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period notwithstanding Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(2). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened hearings panel if the initial Panel is unavailable.

 

As of the Notice, the Company has successfully met this criterion, reinforcing its commitment to meet all Nasdaq regulatory requirements.

 

This achievement demonstrates Vision Marine’s commitment to strengthening shareholder value and maintaining its position on the Nasdaq Capital Market, further supporting the Company’s growth and development in advancing electric propulsion solutions for the marine propulsion industry.
