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

On June 10, 2022, Electric Last Mile Solutions, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the bid price of the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "common stock"), closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which sets forth the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (the "Minimum Bid Requirement").

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is eligible for a 180-calendar day grace period, through December 7, 2022, to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. Compliance can be achieved by evidencing a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (but generally not more than 20 consecutive business days) during the 180-calendar day grace period.

Nasdaq's notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
