Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
OnMarch 13, 2023 ,Aspen Group, Inc. (the "Company") notifiedThe Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") of the Company's decision to voluntarily delist its common stock from The Nasdaq Global Market and its intent to file a Form 25 with theSecurities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or aboutMarch 23, 2023 . As a result, the Company expects the last day of trading of its common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market will beMarch 31, 2023 . The Company intends to file a Form 15 with theSEC on or aboutApril 30, 2023 to suspend the Company's reporting obligations under Sections 12(g) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The reasons for this decision consist of the anticipated financial savings and lower operating costs, reduced management time commitment for compliance and reporting activities, and a simplified corporate governance structure. As previously disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with theSEC onOctober 3, 2022 , onSeptember 28, 2022 , the Company had received notice from Nasdaq of its noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by failing to maintain a minimum bid price for its common stock of at least$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company's common stock remains below the minimum bid price requirement. Once the Company's common stock is no longer listed on Nasdaq, this minimum bid price non-compliance will be moot. The Company expects that its common stock will be quoted on the OTC Pink platform or another market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (the "OTC"), and it intends to continue to provide information to its stockholders and to take such actions within its control to enable its common stock to be quoted in the OTC Pink or on another OTC market so that a trading market may continue to exist for its common stock. There is no guarantee, however, that a broker will continue to make a market in the common stock and that trading of the common stock will continue on an OTC market or otherwise.
