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

As previously disclosed, on March 20, 2023, Metal Materials Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from the Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive trading days, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 18, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. On September 19, 2023, Nasdaq further notified the Company that it was eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until March 18, 2024, to regain compliance.

On November 27, 2023, the Company received a notification letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, as of November 24, 2023, the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days and that, consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), the Staff has determined to delist the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The notice further provides that the Company had until December 4, 2023 to appeal the Staff’s decision.

On November 28, 2023, the Company timely submitted a request for a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination, which was granted by the Panel and a hearing is scheduled to occur on March 21, 2024. Accordingly, any delisting action by Nasdaq will be stayed pending the issuance of the Panel’s final decision following the hearing and any extension period that may be granted by the Panel. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “MMAT” pending the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process. There is no assurance that a favorable decision will be obtained from the Panel at the hearing.
