Item 8.01. Other Events.

On June 13, 2023, Esports Entertainment Group, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s (“Nasdaq”) Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), that the Company currently demonstrates compliance with the requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, including the $2,500,000 minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, as outlined in Listing Rule 5550(b)(1).

The Company remains subject to a “Panel Monitor,” as defined by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(A), through June 13, 2024. In the event the Company fails to satisfy a continued listing requirement during the Panel Monitor, the Company will not be provided with the opportunity to present a compliance plan to Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3), which process might otherwise be available under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, but would instead have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the Panel. The Company’s securities may be at that time delisted from Nasdaq.
