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

On August 23, 2024, Tenon Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) dated August 23, 2024, notifying the Company that it is 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 listed companies 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 June 30, 2024, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of $832,000, which is below the minimum stockholders’ equity required for continued listing pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). In addition, the Company does not currently meet the alternative compliance standards relating to the market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.

Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan or regain compliance, however the Notice provides the Company until October 7, 2024 to submit a plan or regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice for the Company to regain compliance.

The Company is presently evaluating various courses of action to regain compliance and intends to timely submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). 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 and maintain its listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Company fails to submit a plan to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity standard, or the Company’s plan is not accepted, or if Nasdaq grants an extension but the Company does not regain compliance within the extension period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s securities will become subject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules permit the Company to request a hearing before an independent Hearings Panel which has the authority to grant the Company an additional extension of time of up to 180 calendar days to regain compliance.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market and does not affect the Company’s business, operations, or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
