Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule Form 8 K

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

On December 12, 2024, Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (October 30, 2024 through December 11, 2024), the Company's common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement") as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SGBX."

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until June 10, 2025, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved if the closing bid price of the Company's common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify the Company of its compliance and the matter will be closed, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend the ten-day period.

If, however, the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by June 10, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time to comply. In order to be eligible for such additional time, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and must notify Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.

If it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency in the second compliance period, if the price of the Company's common stock is less than $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days during a compliance period (pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii)), or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's common stock will be subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel (as defined by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5805(d)).

The Company intends to continue to monitor the bid price of its common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with Nasdaq's listing requirements, including such actions as effecting a reverse stock split, to maintain its Nasdaq listing. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to do so.
