Item 3.01 Notice of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule.

On March 24, 2023, Spire Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the Company is not in compliance with Rule 802.01C of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual (“Rule 802.01C”) relating to the minimum average closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), required over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Common Stock from the NYSE.

The Company intends to notify the NYSE within 10 business days of its intent to regain compliance with Rule 802.01C. The Company can regain compliance at any time within the cure period if, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period, the Common Stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. The Company intends to consider available alternatives, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to stockholder approval at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, to regain compliance.

During this time, the Company’s Common Stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing requirements.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 21, 2023, Jack Pearlstein informed the Company of his resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Pearlstein’s resignation was due to his desire to devote more of his time to other professional commitments and not because of any disagreement with the Company relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
