Motorsport Games Regains Compliance With NASDAQ

Motorsport Games has recently regained compliance with NASDAQ over the minimum bid price requirement needed.

With more twists and turns than your favourite race track, Motorsport Games regains its compliance with NASDAQ and the minimum bid price compliance.

Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games” or “Company”), a leading racing game developer, publisher and esports ecosystem provider of official motorsport racing series throughout the world, announced today that it has received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) on November 28, 2022 informing Motorsport Games Inc. that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Motorsport Games was previously notified by Nasdaq on June 6, 2022 that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price rule because its Class A common stock failed to meet the closing bid price of $1.00 or more for 30 consecutive business days. To regain compliance with the Rule, the Company was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive trading days. The requirement was met on November 25, 2022, the eleventh consecutive trading day when the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock was over $1.00.

On November 9, 2022, Motorsport Games announced that it had effected a 1-for-10 reverse stock split that became effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on November 10, 2022, and that Company’s Class A common stock would begin trading on a split-adjusted basis at the opening of the market on November 10, 2022. The purpose of the reverse stock split was to raise the per share trading price of the Company Class A common stock to continue its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

As previously disclosed in Motorsport Games’ current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 14, 2022, Motorsport Games received the notification form The NASDAQ Stock Market that Motorsport Games no longer complies with Nasdaq’s audit committee requirement under Rule 5605 and the minimum of 500,000 publicly held shares requirement under Rule 5550(a)(4). Motorsport Games current publicly held shares are 460,803 shares of Class A common stock. Motorsport Games plans to provide the Nasdaq prior to December 29, 2022 with a plan to regain compliance as Motorsport Games is actively looking for independent director candidates and, to regain compliance with the 500,000 share threshold, Motorsport Games plans to issue additional shares to non-affiliates, including, without limitation, by way of issuances of the Company Class A shares in future equity financings, subject to compliance with the Rules; provided that there can be no assurance that a plan to regain compliance will be consummated or that it will achieve its intended effects.
