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

On April 10, 2025, Vicarious Surgical, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) indicating the Company is no longer in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual (the “Minimum Market Capitalization Standard”) due to the fact that the Company’s average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading-day period was less than $50 million and, at the same time, its stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million. As described in the Notice, as of April 9, 2025, the Company’s 30 trading-day average market capitalization was approximately $47.4 million and its last reported stockholders’ equity as of December 31, 2024 was approximately $46.7 million.

In accordance with applicable NYSE procedures, within 45 days from receipt of the Notice, the Company intends to submit a plan to the NYSE advising it of the definitive action(s) the Company has taken, is taking, or plans to take that would bring it into conformity with the Minimum Market Capitalization Standard within 18 months of receipt of the Notice (the “Cure Period”). Upon receipt of such plan, the NYSE will have up to 45 days to evaluate the plan and determine whether the Company has made a reasonable demonstration of its ability to come into conformity with the relevant listing standards within the Cure Period. If the NYSE accepts the Company’s plan, the NYSE will review the Company on a quarterly basis to confirm compliance with the plan. If the Company’s plan is not accepted, the Company fails to comply with the plan or does not meet the Minimum Market Capitalization Standard at the end of the Cure Period, it will be subject to NYSE’s prompt initiation of suspension and delisting procedures.

The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s Class A common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the Cure Period, subject to the NYSE’s acceptance of the Company’s plan, the Company’s continued compliance with the plan and NYSE’s other continued listing standards. However, the Class A common stock trading symbol will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate that the status of the Class A common stock is below criteria with the NYSE continued listing standards. The “.BC” indicator will be removed at such time as the Company regains compliance.

The current noncompliance with the NYSE listing standards does not affect the Company’s ongoing business operations or its U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reporting requirements. The Company is considering all available options to regain compliance with NYSE’s continued listing standards.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

As required under NYSE rules, the Company issued a press release on April 11, 2025, announcing it had received the Notice from the NYSE described in Item 3.01. A copy of this press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The information contained in, or incorporated into, this Item 7.01 of this Report, including Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is furnished under Item 7.01 of Form 8-K and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into the filings of the Company under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.

The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. The Company does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
