Item 8.01. Other Events.

Regain of Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1)

As previously disclosed, on May 30, 2024, T Stamp Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).

The notification received had no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company was provided 45 calendar days, or until July 15, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”) with the listing rules for the Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Compliance Plan was acceptable to the Staff, they may grant an extension of 180 calendar days from the date of the Staff’s letter to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

The Company submitted a Compliance Plan to the Staff on July 15, 2024, which was supplemented by additional materials on August 8, 2024. Based on the Company’s submission, the Staff agreed to grant the Company an extension until November 26, 2024 to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

Since then, the Company has completed the following transactions:

•On July 13, 2024, the Company issued 4,597,701 shares of Class A Common Stock to a certain institutional investor at $0.435 per share in exchange for the three promissory notes totaling $2,000,000 in combined principal, which had the effect of increasing the Company’s stockholder equity by $2,000,000. (For additional details on this transaction, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the SEC on July 16, 2024)

•On August 6, 2024, the Company entered into a License Agreement with Boumarang Inc. (“Boumarang”), a developer, manufacturer, and seller of hydrogen-powered UAV and USV drones, pursuant to which the Company agreed to grant a non-exclusive license to Boumarang to exploit certain of the Company’s patents for the purpose of producing, selling, marketing, and distributing drones. As consideration for the grant of the non-exclusive license, Boumarang agreed to pay the Company a non-refundable license fee of $5,000,000 in the form of a prepaid warrant issued by Boumarang to the Company for 5,000,000 shares of common stock of Boumarang at $1.00 per share. This had the effect of increasing the Company’s stockholder equity by $5,000,000. (For additional details on this transaction, see the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 13, 2024).

•On September 3, 2024, the Company closed on a series of transactions it sold various warrants to an institutional investor, and also received proceeds from the exercise of certain warrants held by that same institutional investors, receiving approximately $2.0 million in gross proceeds, which, after deducting placement agent fees and other offering expenses payable by the Company, as well as a one-time payment of $1.65 million to a former warrantholder of the Company in exchange for the warrantholder terminating, among other things, the warrants of the Company that it held, resulted in net proceeds of $183,662.37 to the Company, and increased the Company’s stockholder equity by the same amount. (For additional details on these transactions, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the SEC on September 5, 2024).

As a result of these transactions described above, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement and believes it currently maintains stockholder’s equity of greater than $5,000,000. The Company understands that Nasdaq will continue to monitor the Company’s ongoing compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. If, at the time of its next periodic report, the Company does not evidence compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, the Company may be subject to delisting.
