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

As previously reported by Meta Materials, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on August 9, 2024, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under the provisions of Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada, Case No. 24-50792 (the “Bankruptcy Filing”).

On August 12, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Delisting Notice”) from the staff of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company’s securities will be delisted from Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, in connection with the Bankruptcy Filing. Pursuant to the Delisting Notice, Nasdaq’s decision was based on the following factors: (i) the public interest concerns raised by the Bankruptcy Filing, (ii) concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders, and (iii) concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. The Delisting Notice indicates that the trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq will be suspended at the opening of business on August 21, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

The Company does not intend to appeal the Staff’s determination. Therefore, the Company expects that the trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on August 21, 2024 and delisted from Nasdaq, as indicated in the Delisting Notice.
