VISTA, Calif., Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NuZee, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUZE) ("NuZee" or the "Company"), a leading coffee co-packing and technology company, today announced that on February 22, 2024, it received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying NuZee that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) ("Rule 5250(c)(1)") because the Company did not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 (the "Form 10-Q") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's stock on Nasdaq, and it states that the Company is required to submit a plan to regain compliance with Rule 5250(c)(1) within 60 calendar days from the date of the Notice. If the plan is accepted by Nasdaq, then Nasdaq can grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-Q to regain compliance.

As reported by the Company in its Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on February 14, 2024, the Company was unable to file its Form 10-Q within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company needs additional time to complete its financial statements, notes, as well as to have the report reviewed by its accountants and attorneys. The Company continues to work diligently to enable the filing of the Form 10-Q with the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable.
