Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Envirotech Vehicles, Inc. (EVTV) filed an 8-K on Jan 20, 2026 reporting that on Jan 15, 2026 it received a Notice from Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department that it no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) because it had not held its annual meeting of stockholders within 12 months of its fiscal year end.
• Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(G) the Company has 45 calendar days from receipt of the Notice (until March 2, 2026) to submit a Compliance Plan. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception extending the compliance period up to 180 days from the fiscal year end (until June 29, 2026). The company says it intends to submit the required Compliance Plan and regain compliance by holding its Annual Meeting prior to June 29, 2026.

Key Details

• Notice received from Nasdaq: January 15, 2026.
• Deadline to submit Compliance Plan: 45 days from receipt (March 2, 2026).
• Possible Nasdaq extension if plan accepted: up to June 29, 2026 (180 days from fiscal year end).
• Company previously adjourned its 2025 Annual Meeting (see its Dec 30, 2025 Form 8‑K) and intends to hold the meeting to regain compliance.

Why It Matters

• Nasdaq noncompliance for failing to hold an annual meeting can lead to potential delisting if not remedied; submitting and obtaining acceptance of a Compliance Plan is a common step to avoid immediate delisting.
• For investors, the filing is material because a Nasdaq delisting or prolonged noncompliance could affect the stock’s liquidity, trading venue, and investor perception. Monitor future company filings for the submitted Compliance Plan, Nasdaq’s response, and the outcome of the Annual Meeting.
