ITEM 3.01 NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD.

As previously disclosed, Adamas One Corp. (the “Company”) has a hearing scheduled for May 30, 2024 before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) regarding its plan to regain compliance with: (1) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”); (2) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(f) (the “Fees Rule”); and (3) Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Filings Rule”).

On May 20, 2024, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that, per the Filings Rule, the Company is delinquent in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2024, which serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq.

The Company intends to present a plan to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, the Fees Rule, and the Filings Rule, and request the continued listing of its common shares on Nasdaq pending such compliance. However, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq.

The Company issued a press release regarding the May 20, 2024 letter which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
