Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. As previously disclosed, Abpro Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") requested a hearing (the "Hearing") before an independent Hearings Panel (the "Panel") regarding a delisting notice in connection with its failure to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). The Hearing has been scheduled for October 30, 2025. As previously disclosed, on April 10, 2025, the Company received two letters from the listing qualifications department staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq"). One letter (the "MVPHS Notice") indicated that based upon Nasdaq's review of the Company's Market Value of Publicly Held Shares ("MVPHS") for the last 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the MVPHS Notice, the Company no longer meets the requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum MVPHS of $15,000,000 (the "MVPHS Requirement"). The second letter notified the Company that from February 20, 2025, to April 9, 2025, the Company's Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the "MVLS Requirement"). Each letter stated that the Company had 180 calendar days, or until October 7, 2025, to regain compliance. On October 14, 2025, the Company received a letter (the "Notice") from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance with either the MVPHS Requirement or the MVLS Requirement during the compliance period. During the Hearing, the Company will present its plans to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the MVPHS requirement and the MVLS requirement. Any further delisting action has been stayed pending the Panel's decision and/or any further extension provided by the Panel; therefore, the Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock or warrants on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to evidence compliance prior to the expiration of any extension that may be granted by the Panel.
