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 January 2, 2025, iPower Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") stating that for the 30 consecutive business day period between November 15, 2024 to December 31, 2024, the Company's common stock had failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share, as required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 1, 2025 (the "Compliance Period"), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading days, unless such period is extended by Nasdaq.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by July 1, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, 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 will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If the Company cannot regain compliance during the Compliance Period or any subsequently granted compliance period, Nasdaq will provide the Company with notice that its common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Nasdaq's delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

Nasdaq's notice to the Company of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock and its common stock will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "IPW." There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements. The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
