Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule - Form 8-K

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

As previously disclosed, on April 10, 2023 CEA Industries Inc. (the "Company") received a notice (the "Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company's common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between February 24, 2023, through April 6, 2023, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice indicated that the Company may submit an update to its existing plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule no later than October 9, 2023, and, following receipt of the update, Nasdaq would consider granting an extension of 180 calendar days to regain compliance. On October 11, 2023, Nasdaq formally determined to grant the Company a second 180-day compliance period, which allowed the Company until April 7, 2024, to satisfy the Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) deficiency. During that time, the Company was unable to satisfy the Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) deficiency.

On April 9, 2024, the Company received a second notice from Nasdaq indicating that the Listings Qualifications Staff will be delisting the shares of common stock and common stock warrants from Nasdaq at the opening of business on April 18, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which would remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

On April 16, 2024, the Company filed an appeal with Nasdaq's Listing Committee, which temporarily stays the delisting of the Company's securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE, pending the decision of the Nasdaq's Listing Committee. As part of this process the Company will be provided a hearing, at which it will be asked to provide a plan to regain compliance and a commitment to effect a reverse stock split, if necessary.

As a result, until further notice, the Company's shares and common stock warrants will continue to trade on the Nasdaq under the tickers "CEA" and "CEADW".
