SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tempo Automation Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: TMPO, the "Company"), a leading software-accelerated electronics manufacturer, today announced that it had received a letter (the "Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that, because the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 (the "Filing"), the Company no longer meets the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Periodic Filing Rule"). The Letter is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company's securities.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(F), the Company will have 60 calendar days, or until October 16, 2023 (the "Plan Date"), to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Periodic Filing Rule (the "Plan"), and if Nasdaq accepts the Plan, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Filing's due date, or until February 12, 2024 (the "Compliance Date"), to regain compliance. Nasdaq will consider things such as the following when determining whether to accept the Plan: (i) the likelihood that the Filing, along with any subsequent periodic filing that will be due, can be made within the 180-calendar day period; (ii) the Company's past compliance history; (iii) the reasons for the late Filing; (iv) other corporate events that may occur within Nasdaq's review period; (v) the Company's overall financial condition; and (vi) the Company's public disclosures. If the Company submits the Plan, Nasdaq will review the Plan and provide the Company with written notice of its decision regarding whether to grant an exception.

In the event that (i) the Company does not (a) submit the Plan by the Plan Date, or (b) regain compliance with the Periodic Filing Rule by the Compliance Date, or (ii) Nasdaq does not accept the Plan, the Company will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. The Company intends to consider available options to regain compliance with the Periodic Filing Rule. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to submit the Plan by the Plan Date, or if it does, that Nasdaq will accept the Plan or that execution of the Plan will result in the Company successfully regaining compliance with the Periodic Filing Rule by the Compliance Date.
