Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Summit Wireless Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) on April 24, 2020 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), on April 23, 2020, the Company closed an underwritten public offering for gross proceeds of approximately $6,500,000, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses (the “Offering”).

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

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC on November 21, 2019, the Company received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on November 18, 2019 that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b), which requires listed companies to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). On January 2, 2020, the Company submitted to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement (the “Compliance Plan”). On March 23, 2020, the Company received another notice from Nasdaq that it had accepted the Compliance Plan and granted the Company an extension period pursuant to which the Company must regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. Among other things, the terms of such extension included that the Company must complete an equity raise on or before May 18, 2020 and must describe the completed transaction that enabled the Company to satisfy the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

The Company believes that, as of the date of this report, it has regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement as a result of the closing of the Offering described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and, if at the time of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2020, the Company does not evidence compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, it may be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market, which it would have the right to appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
