Socket Mobile, Inc.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. On October 27, 2026, Socket Mobile, Inc. (the "Company") delivered written notice to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5840(j) and Rule 12d2-2(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), of the Company’s intention to voluntarily withdraw its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), from listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market and from registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and to transition the quotation of its Common Stock to the OTCID Market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. ("OTC Markets"). As previously disclosed, the Company received a notification from Nasdaq on August 24, 2026, indicating that the Company no longer satisfied the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2,500,000 under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). Following an evaluation of the Company’s strategic alternatives, market capitalization, and the substantial ongoing legal, accounting, compliance, and listing costs associated with maintaining a Nasdaq listing, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized and approved the voluntary withdrawal of the Common Stock from Nasdaq and the transition to the OTCID Market. The Board determined that transitioning quotation to the OTCID Market will enable the Company to significantly reduce administrative and regulatory overhead, conserve cash, and redirect resources toward core product development, customer execution, and long-term business objectives. The Company has received written confirmation from OTC Markets that it has satisfied the onboarding qualifications for quotation on the OTCID Market. The Company expects that its Common Stock will be quoted on the OTCID Market under its current ticker symbol, "SCKT," following the effectiveness of the delisting from Nasdaq, subject to the completion of applicable requirements and arrangements. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5840(j) and Exchange Act Rule 12d2-2(c), the Company anticipates the following procedural schedule: Public Notice: On October 27, 2026, contemporaneously with the delivery of written notice to Nasdaq, the Company issued a press release and published notice on its publicly accessible website disclosing its determination to voluntarily delist from Nasdaq and transition quotation to the OTCID Market. Notice was also submitted to Nasdaq MarketWatch. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Form 25 Filing: On or about November 9, 2026 (at least ten calendar days following written notice to Nasdaq), the Company intends to file a Form 25 (Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and deliver a copy to Nasdaq. ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Effective Date: Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market is expected to become effective ten calendar days after the filing of Form 25, on or about November 19, 2026. Regular trading on Nasdaq is expected to cease at the close of regular market hours on November 18, 2026. ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Commencement of OTC Quotation: Quotation of the Common Stock on the OTCID Market under the symbol "SCKT" is expected to commence at market open on or about November 19, 2026. ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── The transition to the OTCID Market will not affect the Company’s day-to-day business operations, customer commitments, or product delivery schedules. The Company intends to continue filing periodic reports (including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K) with the SEC in accordance with applicable rules under the Exchange Act.
