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

On October 17, 2023, Local Bounti Corporation (the “Company”) received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the NYSE had halted trading in the Company’s warrants, thirteen exercisable for one share of the Company’s common stock for $149.50 per share, ticker symbol “LOCL WS” (the “Warrants”). The Warrants were originally issued when the Company was a special purpose acquisition company called “Leo Holdings III Corp”. The trading halt of the Warrants on the NYSE was due to the low trading price of the Warrants.

On October 18, 2023, the NYSE provided written notice to the Company and publicly announced that NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Warrants and that the Warrants are no longer suitable for listing based on “abnormally low” price levels, pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. To effect the delisting, the NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to delist the Warrants upon completion of applicable procedures. The Company is still evaluating whether it will appeal the NYSE’s determination.

Trading in the Company’s common stock will be unaffected and will continue on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “LOCL”.
