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

On September 21, 2023, Abri SPAC I, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Abri” or the “Company”) received a notice (“Notice”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s failure to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS) of $35 million as set forth in Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Rule”) for the previous 30 consecutive trading days served as a basis for delisting of the Company’s securities (units, common stock and warrants) at the opening of business on October 2, 2023, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

Previously, on March 23, 2023, Abri received a notice from the staff of Nasdaq indicating that the market value of its listed securities had been below the minimum $35,000,000 required for continued listing as set forth in the Rule for the previous 30 consecutive trading days, and was provided 180 calendar days, or until September 19, 2023, to regain compliance with the Rule in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C).
