Note 12 – Subsequent Events

 

 On January 15, 2025, non-executive employee restricted stock awards were granted totaling 1,755,000 with a grant date fair value of $1,105,650 based on the closing market price of our stock on the date of grant. The awards vest as follows: 50% on the one year anniversary of the grant date with the remainder of the balance vesting ratably over thirty-six months.

 

On January 15, 2025, pursuant to the CFO Employment Agreement (see Note 9) the following awards were approved by the Board of Directors and were  granted to the Company’s CFO:  617,284 Restricted Stock and 617,284 stock options with an exercise price of $0.81, vesting as follows: (a) with respect to 308,642 of the Restricted Stock and 308,642 shares subject to stock options (“Options”), 25% vest on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, and the remaining 75% vest in equal increments on the last day of every month thereafter over the following 36 months, subject to Mr. Kline’s continued employment with the Company on each vesting date, and (b) with respect to the remaining 308,642 Restricted Stock and 308,642 Options, each vest in accordance with a performance based milestone set forth by the Company and defined in the CFO Employment Agreement.

 

As previously reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 15, 2025, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock has been below the minimum $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been given 180 calendar days, or until July 14, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If at any time before July 14, 2025, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation that the Company has achieved compliance.

.

 

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including initiating a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq Listing Rules.

 

Further,  as previously reported on our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 13, 2025, the Company notified the Staff of Nasdaq  that the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s independent director requirement (“Independent Director Requirement”)  as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), which requires a majority of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to be comprised of Independent Directors as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). On that same date, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming the foregoing (the “Letter”).

 

Consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1)(A), the Letter provides that the Company is eligible for a cure period in which to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1). This cure period will expire at the earlier of the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders or March 9, 2026; or if the Company’s next annual meeting is held before September 8, 2025, then the Company must evidence compliance no later than September 8, 2025.

 

The Company intends to elect an additional Independent Director to the Board as soon as practicable and prior to the expiration of this cure period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) within the applicable cure period.

 

The Minimum Bid Price Requirement and Independent Director Requirement deficiencies have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SCWO,” subject to the Company’s compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
