(NASDAQ:SPI) (the "Company"), a global renewable energy company and provider of solar storage solutions for business, residential, government, logistics and utility customers, today announced that it previously received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") issuing a Staff determination (the "Staff Determination" and such letter, the "Letter"). The Staff Determination noted that as the Company had not regained compliance with the Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) within the period as prescribed by the Staff, its securities will be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Separately, the Staff Determination also noted that the Company did not meet the terms of the exception for demonstrating compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) ("Filing Rule") which requires the timely filing of all required periodic reports with the SEC. Specifically in this regard, the Staff Determination noted that the Company's failure in filing its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023 and its Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024 (the "Forms 10-Q") by October 14, 2024 within the period as permitted by Nasdaq, each serve as separate and additional bases for the delisting of the Company's securities from Nasdaq, and that the Company should address these concerns before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") if it appeals the Staff Determination.

The Letter notified the Company that it may appeal the Staff's determination to the Panel by 4:00 ET on October 22, 2024. The Company has accordingly submitted a request for hearing before the Panel.

The Staff Determination has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company plans to fulfill each of the conditions as stated in the Staff Determination, apply to the Panel for the hearing and the comply with the procedures for the Panel hearing. As highlighted in the Letter, the hearings before the Panel are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. The Staff Determination also noted that a request for a hearing regarding a delinquent filing will stay the suspension of the Company's securities only for a period of 15 days from the date of the request. When requesting a hearing before the Panel, the Company would also be able to request a stay of such suspension, pending the hearing.

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