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

On April 10, 2023, Murphy Canyon Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") received a letter (the "Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") for the Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class A Common Stock"), was below the $50 million minimum MVLS requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the "MVLS Rule"). The Letter is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company's securities.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company will have 180 calendar days, or until October 9, 2023 (the "Compliance Date"), to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. To regain compliance with the MVLS Rule, the MVLS for the Class A Common Stock must be at least $50 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during this 180-day period. If the Company regains compliance with the MVLS Rule, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation and will close the matter.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule by the Compliance Date, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Class A Common Stock will be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Nasdaq rules permit the Company an opportunity to appeal Nasdaq's determination. The Letter notes that the Company may be eligible to transfer the listing of its securities to the Nasdaq Capital Market (provided that it then satisfies the requirements for continued listing on that market). The Company is monitoring the MVLS of its Class A Common Stock and will consider options available to it to potentially achieve compliance.
