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

On November 17, 2022, SINTX Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, because the Company’s bid price had closed below $0.10 per share for the preceding ten consecutive trading days, in contravention of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(3)(A)(iii) (the “$0.10 Rule”), the Company’s securities were subject to delisting unless the Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). Today, the Company timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which request stayed any further delisting action by Nasdaq at least pending the Company’s hearing and the expiration of any extension that the Panel may grant to the Company following such hearing.

Nasdaq previously granted the Company a 180-calendar grace period to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), through January 2, 2023; however, the grace period was cut short due to the Company’s non-compliance with the $0.10 Rule.

At the Annual Shareholders Meeting scheduled for December 15, 2022, the Company will seek shareholder approval for the implementation of a reverse stock split if deemed necessary and advisable and at the Board’s discretion, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
