Energy Vault Holdings, Inc. (“Energy Vault”) (NYSE: NRGV), a global energy storage company today announced that it received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on September 13, 2024, indicating that Energy Vault is not in compliance with NYSE’s continued listing standards because the average closing price of Energy Vault’s common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of Energy Vault’s common stock from the NYSE.

Under NYSE rules, Energy Vault has a period of six months from receipt of the notice to regain compliance with the NYSE minimum stock price listing requirement. Energy Vault plans to notify the NYSE by September 27, 2024 of its intent to cure the stock price deficiency and return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing standards.

Energy Vault intends to consider available alternatives, subject to stockholder approval, no later than at Energy Vault’s next annual meeting of stockholders, if necessary, to cure the stock price non-compliance. Under the NYSE’s rules, if Energy Vault determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action that will require stockholder approval at its next annual meeting of stockholders, the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 trading days.

Energy Vault’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE during this cure period, subject to Energy Vault’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
