Focus Universal : 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.

On May 9, 2024, Focus Universal Inc. (the "Company"), received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"). The May 9, 2024, letter was notifying the Company that based on the Staff's review of the Company's Market Value of Publicly Held Shares ("MVPHS"), the Company's MVPHS has fallen below the required minimum of $15,000,000 for the last 32 consecutive business days. Therefore, the Company no longer meets the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) and 5450(b)(3)(C) (the "MVPHS Rules"). The notification received has no immediate effect on the Company's Nasdaq listing.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) and 5810(c)(3)(C) (the "Compliance Period Rule"), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until November 5, 2024 (the "Compliance Date"), to regain compliance with the MVPHS Rules. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the Company's MVPHS closes at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation of compliance to the Company and this matter will be closed with respect to the MVPHS Rules.

If the Company is not in compliance with the MVPHS Rules by November 5, 2024, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. Pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(i)-(ii), to qualify, the Company would be required to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market and then meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market. For the MVPHS Rules, if the Company does not regain compliance by November 5, 2024, then the Company will be required to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market where the minimum MVPHS is $1,000,000.

The Company will continue to actively monitor the market of its publicly common stock and will evaluate available options, including, without limitation, submitting a transfer application to the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company's common stock will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Global Market during the first 180-day compliance period that ends on the Compliance Date, subject to the Company's compliance with the other continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Global Market.
