Item 3.01

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

On February 13, 2024, Quantum Corporation (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2023 (the “Quarterly Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

On February 14, 2024, the Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with the SEC indicating that the filing of the Quarterly Report would be delayed due to additional time being needed to re-evaluate its application of standalone selling price under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 17, 2023, on November 14, 2023, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company’s failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2023 (the “Initial Delinquent Filing”). The Company submitted a plan to regain compliance, and Nasdaq granted the Company an exception until May 7, 2024 to file the Initial Delinquent Filing.

The Company must submit an update to the original plan to regain compliance to include the Company’s plan to file the Quarterly Report and the progress the Company has made towards implementing the plan submitted in connection with the Initial Delinquent Filing. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the original due date of the Initial Delinquent Filing, which 180-day period would end on May 7, 2024, to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.
