PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / May 28, 2024 / Alpine 4 Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") (NASDAQ: ALPP), announced today that on May 22, 2024 an Additional Staff Determination letter (the "May 22 Letter") was received from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") informing the Company that because the Company is delinquent in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, such delinquency would serve as an additional basis for delisting the Company's securities from Nasdaq.

Also on May 22, 2024, the Company received a letter (the "Hearing Panel Letter") from Nasdaq stating that Nasdaq had granted a stay with respect to the delisting action for a period of 15 calendar days, or until June 6, 2024. The Hearing Panel Letter stated that unless the Panel grants an extension of the stay pending the hearing, which is currently scheduled for July 2, 2024, at 11:00 am EDT, trading in the Company's shares would be suspended. The Company intends to seek an extension of the stay beyond June 6, 2024, at least through the date of the hearing.

At the hearing, the Company plans to present information relating to the reasons behind the delays in filing the Company's public reports, including the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended September 30, 2023, and March 31, 2024, and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company intends to provide information showing the Company's diligent efforts, working with its auditors and other professional advisors, to finalize the information required to be disclosed; to highlight the reasons for the delays in completion of the filings; and to provide the Company's plan and timeline for completing the filings and curing the delinquencies in the Company's filings.

As noted previously, the Company is working diligently with its auditors to complete the Quarterly Reports and the Annual Report and to file them with the SEC as soon as possible.
