$ABIL Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Letter

TEL AVIV, Israel, June 8, 2017  — Ability Inc. (NASDAQ: ABIL) (the “Company”), a leading provider of innovative tactical communications intelligence solutions, today announced that on June 6, 2017 it received notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (the “Staff”) that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares for the 30 consecutive business days ended June 5, 2017, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement. The deficiency notification does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s ordinary shares from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has an initial grace period of 180 calendar days, or until December 4, 2017 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If, at any time during the Compliance Period, the bid price for the Company’s ordinary shares closes at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide notification to the Company that it complies with the minimum bid price requirement, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(F).

If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the Compliance Period, the Company may be afforded an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price requirement. In addition, the Company would be required to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the minimum bid price deficiency.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the Compliance Period and is not eligible for an additional compliance period at that time, the Staff will provide notification to the Company that its ordinary shares may be delisted. The Company would then be entitled to appeal the Staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel and request a hearing. There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by the Staff to the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel, such appeal would be successful.

At present, the Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ordinary shares and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, which could include effecting a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.
