Sale of Minehut
On February 29, 2024, the Company sold its Minehut related assets (“Minehut Assets”) to GamerSafer, Inc. (“GamerSafer”), in a transaction approved by the Board. Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement entered into by and between GamerSafer and the Company on February 26, 2024 (the “GS Agreement”), the Company will receive $1.0 million of purchase consideration (“Minehut Purchase Consideration”) for the Minehut Assets, which amount will be paid by GamerSafer in revenue and royalty sharing over a multiple-year period, as described in the GS Agreement (the “Minehut Sale”). Other than with respect to the GS Agreement, there is no relationship between the Company or its affiliates with GamerSafer or its affiliates.
The transaction allows Super League to streamline its position in partnering with major brands to build, market, and operate 3D experiences across multiple immersive platforms, including open gaming powerhouses like Minecraft, and aligns with the Company’s cost improvement initiatives. Super League and GamerSafer will maintain a commercial relationship which ensures that Minehut can remain an ongoing destination available to Super League’s partners.
Nasdaq Deficiency Notices
On January 2, 2025, we received a letter (the “Bid Price Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). On January 3, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “Annual Meeting Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that the Company no longer complies with Listing Rule 5620(a) (the “Annual Meeting Rule”) since it did not hold an annual meeting of stockholders within twelve months of the end of the Company’s fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. On April 7, 2025, the Company received a letter (the “Stockholder Deficiency Letter”) from Nasdaq, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). The Stockholder Deficiency Letter also indicated that the Company does not meet the alternative compliance standards of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. The Company’s failure to comply with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement was based on the Company’s filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, reporting the stockholders’ equity of $170,000.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock. To regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the closing bid price of the Company's Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days during the 180-day period from January 2, 2025 to July 1, 2025. If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by July 1, 2025, Nasdaq may grant the Company a second 180-day period to regain compliance. To qualify for this additional 180-day compliance period, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, other than the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the Company would also be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance periods, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. To regain compliance with the Annual Meeting Rule, the Company prepared and submitted a plan of compliance (due within 45 calendar days from receipt of the formal notice) to Nasdaq of which we are awaiting a response from Nasdaq. There is no guaranty that Nasdaq will accept our plan of compliance. To regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Company intends to prepare and submit a plan of compliance (due within 45 calendar days from receipt of the formal notice) to Nasdaq as necessary. |
