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

On July 19, 2022, Nasdaq notified Orbital Infrastructure Group, Inc. ("we", "us" or the "Company") that the bid price of our common stock had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Rule"). In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until January 16, 2023, to regain compliance with the Rule.

On January 18, 2023, Nasdaq staff notified the Company it has not regained compliance with the Rule and is not eligible for a second 180 day extension and therefore subject to delisting unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination.

The Company intends to appeal the staff's determination to the Panel on a timely basis, which will stay the suspension of the Company's common stock.

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. As part of the Company's plan to regain compliance with the Rule, the Company has filed preliminary proxy materials on January 19, 2023 which, among other matters, request that our stockholders vote to approve a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock, at a reverse stock split ratio ranging from any whole number between 10 for 1 and 40 for 1, subject to and determined by the board of directors (the "Reverse Stock Split") with the goal being that the Reverse Stock Split will result in the Company's common stock regaining compliance with the Nasdaq minimum closing bid price requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company's stockholders will approve the Reverse Stock Split or that the Reverse Stock Split will increase the share price of our common stock at or above the required $1.00 per share, initially or in the future, or for any certain number of days. Further, there can be no assurance that, even if the Company regains compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement by this action, it will occur in sufficient time to satisfy the Panel or that the Panel will ultimately grant the Company's request for continued listing.
