Sono Group Receives Notice of Delisting from Nasdaq

MUNICH, Germany, July 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On July 12, 2023, solar tech company Sono Group N.V. (NASDAQ: SEV) (“Sono Group” or the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) has determined that the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq in accordance with Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1. The Notice further states that trading of the Company’s common shares will be suspended at the opening of business on July 21, 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 Nasdaq. The Company has requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the Staff’s determination.

The Staff’s determination was based on the following factors: the associated public interest concerns raised by the Company’s announcement that it had applied to the insolvency court of Munich, Germany, to permit the opening of a self-administration proceeding with respect to the Company pursuant to Section 270 et seqq. of the German Insolvency Code; concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders; and concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.

The Notice further states that the Company’s failure to file its Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 20-F”), which was due on May 1, 2023, with the SEC and Nasdaq and resultant failure to comply with Nasdaq’s filing requirement as set forth under Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) serves as an additional and separate basis for delisting.

As previously disclosed in its Form 6-Ks filed with the SEC on March 22, 2023, April 21, 2023 and May 8, 2023, the Company currently does not meet the continued listing criteria set forth in Nasdaq Rules 5450(a)(1), 5605(c)(2)(A) and 5250(c)(1). On March 20, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Staff notifying the Company that the bid price of its common shares had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and, accordingly, that the Company did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). On April 21, 2023, the Company notified Nasdaq that, as a consequence of the resignation of four out of five members of the Company’s supervisory board, including all independent supervisory board members, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires a listed company to have an audit committee composed of at least three members who each meet the criteria for independence set forth in Rule 10A-4(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. On May 3, 2023, the Company received a notice from the Staff stating that because the Company has not yet filed its 2022 20-F, the Company is no longer in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.

This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.
