Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

Securities registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Act:

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (17 CFR §230.405) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (17 CFR §240.12b-2).

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

On August 20, 2024, Hempacco Co., Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was delinquent in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024, that this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq, and that Nasdaq’s hearings panel will consider this matter in their decision regarding the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq. The Nasdaq listing rules (Rule 5250(c)(1)) require listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company is working to complete and file its delinquent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and intends to present its views with respect to this deficiency to the hearings panel by August 27, 2024.

If the Company’s common stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason, it could negatively impact the Company by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of the Company’s common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Company’s common stock, which could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting the Company’s ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing the Company from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing the Company’s ability to provide equity incentives to its employees.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s beliefs and expectations relating to the Company’s delinquent periodic reports, Nasdaq’s listing rules, Nasdaq’s hearings panel, and whether the Company’s common stock will remain listed on Nasdaq. These forward-looking statements are based on the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management with respect to future events, only speak as of the date that they are made and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.

Actual results could differ significantly from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a material delay in the Company’s financial reporting, the possibility that the Company is unable to regain compliance with, or thereafter continue to comply with, Nasdaq’s listing rules, or experience violations of additional listing rules, the possibility that Nasdaq may deny the Company’s pending appeal and delist the Company’s securities and other factors contained in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in the Company’s filings with the SEC from time to time, including, but not limited to, its Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
