HOUSTON, Texas, Jan. 10, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, Global System Dynamics, Inc. (“GSD,” the “Company”) announced that it received notification from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that it is not in compliance with the Nasdaq’s annual shareholder meeting requirement, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a).
On January 5, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company in a letter (the “Notice Letter”) that it did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires listed companies to hold an annual shareholder’s meeting no later than one year following its last fiscal year. To date, the Company has not held its annual shareholder’s meeting. The Notice Letter stated that such deficiency would be an additional factor considered by the Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”) in the Company’s hearing regarding delisting from the Nasdaq. The Company is in the process of scheduling the annual shareholder’s meeting, which date will be provided to its shareholders on further notice.
The Notice Letter also stipulated that the Company comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(G), which requires listed companies to promptly disclose their receipt of letters regarding failure to comply with certain Nasdaq Listing Rules by either (i) filing a current report on Form 8-K, where required by SEC rules, or (ii) issuing a press release. The Form 8-K filing or press release issuance must occur within four (4) business days after the date of the Notice Letter. Contemporaneously with the issuance of this press release, the Company is filing a current report on Form 8-K to disclose the contents of the Notice Letter.
The Notice Letter required the Company to present its views regarding non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) to the Panel in writing no later than January 12, 2024. The Company is currently preparing a response to the Notice Letter for an anticipated timely submission.
The Notice Letter comes after a previously disclosed stipulation from the Panel on January 2, 2024 that our request to continue our listing on Nasdaq was granted, subject to our filing a response to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)’s comments received on Form S-4 (“Form S-4”) by or before January 19, 2024. The Panel also required GSD to complete its business combination with DarkPulse, Inc (OTC: DPLS) on or before April 1, 2024 (the “Business Combination”). The Company is working diligently to meet these deadlines.
If the Company fails to address its deficiencies with the Nasdaq Listing Rules and evidence compliance upon filing its amended registration statement on the Form S-4 with the SEC by the stipulated date, the Company may be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq. We cannot assure that despite our completion of a compliance plan or submission of an amendment to the Form S-4, Nasdaq will grant our request for our continued listing on the Nasdaq.
