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

On April 11, 2024, Venus Concept Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that for 32 consecutive business days the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) as required for continued listing under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock.  In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until October 8, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Common Stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days before October 8, 2024, at which time the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Minimum Bid Requirement, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this ten-day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).

If the Common Stock does not achieve compliance by October 8, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance, provided that it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, for example, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of the Common Stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement under the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
