Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On November 19, SPI Energy Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) issuing a Staff determination (the “Staff Determination”).

The Staff Determination noted that since the Company has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024, it no longer complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (“Rule”) which requires the timely filing of all required periodic reports with the SEC. The Company has not regained compliance with the Rule. Accordingly, this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. All information addressing this matter must be included in the Company’s prehearing submission to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel due November 26, 2024.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On November 21, 2024, the Company issued a press release to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b) announcing that the Company had received the Staff Determination. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

In accordance with General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in that filing.
