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

On May 19, 2026, Socket Mobile, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Deficiency Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price of its common stock was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq requires a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price”).

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until November 16, 2026, to regain compliance. To do so, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least the Minimum Bid Price for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during that period. Nasdaq staff may, in its discretion, require a longer compliance period of up to 20 consecutive business days in certain circumstances.

If the Company does not regain compliance by November 16, 2026, Nasdaq staff may grant an additional compliance period of up to 180 days, provided the Company satisfies all other initial and continued listing requirements and gives Nasdaq written notice of its intent to cure the deficiency during that period. If Nasdaq staff determines that the Company cannot cure the deficiency or is otherwise ineligible, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. The Company may then appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that additional time will be granted, that any appeal will be successful, or that the Company’s efforts to regain compliance will not adversely affect the market value of its common stock.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock through November 16, 2026 and, if appropriate, evaluate available options to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement.

The Deficiency Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SCKT.”

Although the Company is working to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that it will regain or continue to satisfy all Nasdaq listing requirements. If the Company fails to do so, Nasdaq may delist its common stock. A delisting could make it more difficult to buy or sell the Company’s securities, obtain accurate market quotations, or raise capital in the public markets, and could materially reduce the market price of its common stock. Delisting could also discourage broker-dealers from making a market in or promoting the Company’s securities and deter certain institutions and investors from investing in them. Any of these effects could materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, operations, and ability to maintain adequate capital.
