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

On January 7, 2020, Sigma Labs, Inc. (“Sigma” or the “Company”) received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that we are no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000. In the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $2,104,035, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). As of the date of this Report, the Company does not meet the alternative Nasdaq continued listing standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules and Nasdaq’s determination, Sigma has until February 4, 2020 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance. If our plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension until July 8, 2020 to evidence compliance.

The Company has developed a strategy that it believes will cause the Company to regain compliance, and will submit its plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plan will be accepted or that if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is not accepted, or if it is and the Company does not regain compliance as of July 8, 2020, or if the Company fails to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s common stock will become subject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules would permit the Company to appeal the decision to reject the Company’s proposed compliance plan or any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
