Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 17, 2023, Markforged Holding Corporation (the “Company”) received written notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with Rule 802.01C of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual (“Rule 802.01C”) relating to the minimum average closing price of the Company’s common stock required over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
In accordance with the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company intends to notify the NYSE of its intent to cure the stock price deficiency and return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards. The Company can regain compliance at any time within the six-month period following receipt of the NYSE notice if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the Company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. The Company fully intends to remain listed on the NYSE and will consider the best available alternatives, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to stockholder approval, if necessary to regain compliance.
The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE during the six-month cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
As required by Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company issued a press release on November 20, 2023, announcing that it had received the notice of noncompliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standard. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The foregoing description and the other information provided pursuant to this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is “furnished” and shall not be deemed “filed” with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filings.

These statements involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from the information expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Although Markforged believes that it has a reasonable basis for each forward-looking statement contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, Markforged cautions you that these statements are based on a combination of facts and factors currently known by it and its projections of the future, about which it cannot be certain. Forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Company’s ability to regain compliance with Rule 802.01C within the applicable cure periods and the Company’s ability to continue to comply with applicable listing standards of the NYSE.

These forward looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among others, general economic, political and business conditions; the ability of Markforged to maintain its listing on the New York Stock Exchange; the Company’s ability to continue to comply with applicable listing standards of the NYSE; the effect of COVID-19 on Markforged’s business and financial results; the outcome of any legal proceedings against Markforged; and those factors discussed under the header “Risk Factors” in Markforged’s most recent periodic and other filings with the SEC. Furthermore, if the forward-looking statements prove to be inaccurate, the inaccuracy may be material. In light of the significant uncertainties in these forward-looking statements, you should not regard these statements as a representation or warranty by us or any other person that Markforged will achieve its objectives and plans in any specified time frame, or at all. The forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K represent Markforged’s views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Markforged anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. However, while Markforged may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Markforged has no current intention of doing so except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing Markforged’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K.
