Item 3.01.Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On August 17, 2023, TuSimple Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of the Company not having timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”). The Notice indicated that the Company should present its views with respect to this additional deficiency to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), which the Company intends to do. The Company expected the Notice, and in June 2023, the Company disclosed to the Panel its plans to file the Form 10-Q by the agreed upon Compliance Date, as described below.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 10, 2023, the Company received a notice dated July 6, 2023 from Nasdaq indicating that, based on the plan of compliance presented by the Company at its hearing before the Panel on June 22, 2023, the Panel granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq. The Panel granted the Company an extension until September 30, 2023 (the “Compliance Date”) to file with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023 (the “Delayed Reports”), subject to specified deadlines for each Delayed Report.

On July 17, 2023, the Company filed with the SEC its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2022. The Company intends to file the other Delayed Reports as soon as practicable and on or before the Compliance Date.
