SeqLL : Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule - Form 8-K

Item 3.01Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously reported, on September 8, 2023, SeqLL Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") regarding compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4) (the "Rule"), which requires the Company to have a minimum of 500,000 publicly held shares, exclusive of shares held by officers, directors and 10% stockholders. The letter from Nasdaq indicated that according to its calculations, as of September 7, 2023, the Company no longer meets the requirements of the Rule. On September 18, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq that supplemented the letter of September 8, 2023 and requested that the Company submit a letter to Nasdaq with its plan to regain compliance with the Rule by September 25, 2023.

This notice of noncompliance has no immediate impact on the continued listing or trading of the Company's securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which will continue to be listed and traded on Nasdaq, subject to the Company's compliance with the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's plan, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

As previously disclosed, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of May 29, 2023, as amended, among the Company, SeqLL Merger LLC, Atlantic Acquisition Corp., Atlantic Merger LLC, Lyneer Investments, LLC, IDC Technologies, Inc. and Lyneer Management Holdings LLC, the Company is obligated to declare and issue a stock dividend to the Company's pre-merger stockholders, which the Company believes will bring it into compliance with the Rule. The Company will continue to monitor its compliance with Nasdaq's listing standards and intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance.
