Notice of Delayed FilingSonder received a deficiency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on August 20, 2025 (the "Notice"). The Notice indicated that the Company continues to not be in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Listing Rule") as a result of its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 (the "Q2 2025 Form 10-Q"), as described more fully in the Company's Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the "Form 12b-25") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 14, 2025. The Listing Rule requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC.
The Company previously received a notice on April 24, 2025 from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it no longer complied with the Listing Rule due to the Company's delinquency in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the annual period ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Form 10-K"). The Company filed the 2024 Form 10-K on July 23, 2025.
In accordance with Nasdaq's listing rules, the Company submitted a plan of compliance (the "Plan") to Nasdaq on June 23, 2025 demonstrating the Company's ability to regain compliance with the Listing Rule and Nasdaq has the discretion to grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the 2024 Form 10-K, or October 13, 2025, to regain compliance. The Company is required to submit an update to the Plan to Nasdaq no later than September 4, 2025.
As previously disclosed, the filing of the Q2 2025 Form 10-Q was delayed due to the matters described in the Form 12b-25, including to allow the Company sufficient time to complete its customary accounting and internal control processes and procedures. While the Company can provide no assurances as to timing, the Company will continue to work diligently to complete and file the Q2 2025 Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.
