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

On January 18, 2024, CalAmp Corp. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) requires listed companies to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $10,000,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). Nasdaq further indicated that, as of the date of the Notice, the Company did not comply with certain requirements under the alternative standards set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(b)(2) and 5450(b)(3) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. The Notice is in addition to the previously disclosed letter received on August 22, 2023, notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq, and the Company’s listing remains fully effective.

Under Nasdaq Rules, the Company has until March 4, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”). If the Compliance Plan is accepted, Nasdaq can provide the Company an extension of up to 180 days from the date of notice to cure such listing deficiency. There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Compliance Plan, and if Nasdaq does not accept the Compliance Plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal the determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel which has the authority to grant the Company an additional extension of time of up to 180 calendar days to regain compliance. If the Company fails to regain compliance with these requirements or to submit an acceptable Compliance Plan to Nasdaq within the time allotted, the Company will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The Company intends to submit the Compliance Plan on or before March 4, 2024.

If the Common Stock ceases to be listed for trading on Nasdaq, the Company would expect that the Common Stock would be traded on one of the three tiered marketplaces of the OTC Markets Group.

Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This current report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this Current Report, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s Compliance Plan, regaining with compliance with Nasdaq listing standards, the Company's or its management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future, and projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, and are not guarantees of future performance. The words “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “future,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “aim,” “strive,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

These forward-looking statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance and are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict, including, without limitation, the impact of adverse and uncertain economic conditions in the U.S. and international markets, the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents to meet our liquidity needs and service our indebtedness, our ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq listing standards and the impact the failure thereof would have on the Company, product demand, competitive pressures and pricing declines in our markets, the timing of customer approvals of new product designs, intellectual property infringement claims, interruption or failure of our Internet-based systems used to wirelessly configure and communicate with the tracking and monitoring devices that we sell, global component supply shortages due to ongoing supply chain constraints, phased implementation of our ERP system, the effect of tariffs on exports from China and other countries, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (including its effect on the supply of labor), and other risks and uncertainties that are set forth in Part I, Item 1A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2023 as filed with the SEC on April 28, 2023.

For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see the Company’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission including, but not limited to, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended November 30, 2023, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2023. The Company’s filings may be accessed through the Investor Relations page of its website, investor.calamp.com, or through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and, except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
