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

 

As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25 filed on May 17, 2021 by the Eucrates Biomedical Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), on April 12, 2021, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued the “Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (“SPACs”)” (the “Statement”), which clarified guidance for all SPAC-related companies regarding the accounting and reporting for their warrants. Following review of the Statement, the Company reevaluated the accounting treatment of its public and private placement warrants as equity, and concluded that, based on the SEC Statement, public and private placement warrants should be, and should have been previously, classified as a liability measured at fair value, with non-cash fair value adjustments recorded in earnings at each reporting period. The Company is continuing to evaluate the extent of the SEC Statement’s impact on its financial statements, including the financial statements as of and for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 that will be included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021 (the “Form 10-Q”). The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-Q as soon as possible.

 

On May 28, 2021, the Company received a notice (“Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) because the Company failed to timely file the Form 10-Q with the SEC. The Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC.

 

Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-Q, or until November 22, 2021, to regain compliance. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan to regain compliance or that the Company will be able to regain compliance within any extension period granted by Nasdaq. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

 

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities. However, if the Company fails to timely regain compliance with the Rule, the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On June 1, 2021, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

This report contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements.” Statements regarding the Company’s expectations regarding the SEC Statement’s impact on its financial statements, its ability to complete and file its Form 10-Q and its ability to regain compliance with the Rule, and related matters, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this report are forward-looking statements. When used in this report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management team, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this paragraph. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this release, except as required by law.
