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

 

On March 3, 2026, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) notified Vicarious Surgical Inc. (the “Company”) that the NYSE had determined to (A) immediately suspend trading in the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), due to a determination that the Company had fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing standard requiring listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $15,000,000 pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, and (B) commence proceedings to delist the Common Stock.

 

The NYSE has stated that it will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Common Stock by filing a Form 25 upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE’s delisting determination, which appeal must be made within ten business days from receipt of the determination. The Company is currently evaluating whether to appeal the delisting determination.

 

The Company has received approval of its application to have the Common Stock quoted on the OTCID market tier (“OTCID”) operated by the OTC Markets Group, Inc. (“OTC Markets”). The Company expects that the Common Stock will commence quotation on the OTCID at the open of business on March 4, 2026 under the current trading symbol of “RBOT.”

 

The OTCID is a significantly more limited market than the NYSE, and quotation on any OTC market will result in a less liquid market for existing and potential holders of the Common Stock to trade the Common Stock and could further depress the trading price of the Common Stock. The Company can provide no assurance that the Common Stock will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will provide and continue to provide public quotes of the Common Stock on this market, or whether the trading volume of the Common Stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market. The suspension and/or delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE could negatively impact the Company by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of the Common Stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Common Stock, which could negatively impact the Company’s ability to raise equity financing; (iii) impacting the Company’s ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing the Company from accessing the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing the Company’s ability to provide equity incentives to its employees.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On March 4, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the matters disclosed in Item 3.01 above. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.

 

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 

Forward Looking-Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts and can generally be identified by the use of future dates or words such as “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “will,” “expects,” “expected,” “seeks to,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “foresee,” “intends,” “guidance,” “predicts,” “projects,” “projecting,” “potential,” “targeting,” “will likely result,” or “continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control, including, without limitation, future fluctuations in the Company’s market capitalization and stockholders’ equity; the Company’s ability to appeal the delisting determination; and the expected timing for quotation on the OTCID. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements due to numerous factors, risks, and uncertainties discussed in the Company’s SEC filings and reports.

 

New risks and uncertainties arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these events or how they may affect the Company. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events and/or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
