01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. As previously reported, on May 2, 2024, ClearSign Technologies Corporation (the "Company"), received a written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the bid price for the Company's common stock for the 30 consecutive business days beginning on March 20, 2024 and ending on May 1, 2024, had closed below the minimum $1 per share and, as a result, the Company was not in compliance with the $1 minimum bid price requirement for the continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule"). On October 30, 2024, the Company received a second written notification from Nasdaq granting the Company's request for a 180-day extension to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. The Company now has until April 28, 2025 to meet the requirement. As part of the Company's request for the 180-day extension, the Company notified Nasdaq that it intends to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If at any time prior to April 28, 2025, the bid price of the Company's common stock closes at $1 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule during the additional 180-day extension, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the hearings panel, that such appeal would be successful. The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and evaluate i
