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

As previously disclosed, on December 5, 2023, Smart for Life, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the Nasdaq stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000 or the alternative criteria for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”), given that the Company’s Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023 evidenced stockholders’ equity of $951,836, and that the staff of Nasdaq had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq unless the Company requested an appeal of the determination. Based on the foregoing, the Company timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq hearings panel. The hearing request stayed the delisting pending the conclusion of the hearings process.

As previously disclosed, on January 5, 2024, the Company received an additional notification letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the requirement to hold an annual meeting of shareholders since the Company did not hold an annual meeting in 2023. The letter stated that the hearings panel will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq.

On April 17, 2024, the Company received an additional notification letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Company is now delinquent in filing its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, which serves as an additional basis for the delisting of the Company’s securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The letter stated that the hearings panel will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq. In that regard, the letter stated that the Company should present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the hearings panel no later than April 24, 2024.

At the hearing, which was held on March 12, 2024, the Company presented its plan for regaining compliance with the Equity Rule and presented its views with respect to the additional deficiency relating to the annual meeting, and requested a further extension so that it may complete the execution of its plan. Although the Company believes its plan will be sufficient to enable it to regain compliance, no assurance can be provided that Nasdaq will ultimately accept the Company’s plan or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with the Equity Rule.

Notably, the Company filed a Form 8-K on March 7, 2024 disclosing that, as a result of its restructuring plan, including recapitalization with equity and debt financings, the sale of certain non-performing assets and the liquidation of its senior debt facility, the Company had stockholder’s equity of over $2.5 million. In addition, through further improvements to the balance sheet, the Company has an estimated stockholders’ equity of $6 million as of the date hereof.
