| Item 3.01. | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On November 15, 2018, Landcadia Holdings, Inc. consummated its business combination with Waitr Incorporated (the “Business Combination”) and was renamed Waitr Holdings Inc. (the “Company”). Immediately after the Business Combination was consummated, the Company’s common stock and warrants began trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “WTRH” And “WTRHW,” respectively. In connection with the continued listing of the common stock and warrants on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), the Company provided Nasdaq with information regarding the number of round lot holders of the common stock and warrants. On December 17, 2018, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq pursuant to Listing Rule IM 5101-2, informing the Company that the warrants did not meet the minimum 400 round lot holder requirements for listing, as set forth in Listing Rule 5515(a)(4).
The Company does not intend to appeal Nasdaq’s determination regarding the warrants. Accordingly, the warrants will be scheduled for delisting from Nasdaq and will be suspended at the opening of business on December 27, 2018, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the warrants from listing and registration on Nasdaq. Following the delisting, the Company anticipates that the warrants will be eligible for trading on the over-the-counter markets operated by OTC Markets Group.
The delisting of the warrants will not affect the continued listing of the Company’s common stock, which trades on The Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “WTRH”.
