ITEM 3.01NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING

 

On October 20, 2022, the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) notified Ault Disruptive Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) that the NYSE American determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s warrants, each exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock, from the NYSE American and that trading in the Company’s warrants would be suspended immediately, due to “abnormally low” trading price levels pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide. The Company does not intend to appeal the NYSE American’s determination. The Company’s common stock and units will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American.

 

The Company notes that the NYSE American issued its own press release relating to the above on October 20, 2022. That press release contained a single, mistaken reference to delisting the Company’s common stock, rather than the warrants. The Company conferred with the NYSE Regulation, who confirmed that such reference to the Company’s common stock was a ministerial error and should have referred to the warrants, as set forth in all other references in such press release.
