Kaleyra Receives NYSE Non-Compliance Letter Regarding Common Stock Trading Price

NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaleyra, Inc. (NYSE: KLR) (NYSE American: KLR WS) ("Kaleyra" or the "Company"), an enterprise Communication Platform as a Service (CPaaS) business, announced today that the Company received a written notice (the "Notice") from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that it was not in compliance with the continued listing criteria set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE's Listed Company Manual ("Section 802.01C"), as the average closing price of the Company's common stock (the "Common Stock") was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.

The Company intends to respond to the NYSE within ten business days of receipt of the Notice with respect to its intent to cure the deficiency, as required by Section 802.01C. The Company intends to consider available alternatives, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to shareholder approval, if necessary, to regain compliance. Pursuant to Section 802.01C, the Company has a period of six months following the receipt of the Notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The Company may regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the six-month 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 consecutive 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. If the Company is unable to regain compliance with the $1.00 share price rule within this period, the NYSE will initiate procedures to suspend and delist the Common Stock.

The Notice does not affect the Company's reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and it does not conflict with or cause an event of default under any of the Company's material debt or other agreements.
