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

As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed April 24, 2023 (the "Prior Form 8-K"), Unico American Corporation (the "Company") received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that the Company is noncompliant with the periodic filing requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule") as a result of its failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by the required due date (the "Prior Nasdaq Notice"). On May 19, 2023, the Company received an additional notice from Nasdaq that the Company remains noncompliant with the Rule as a result of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 with the SEC by the required due date (the "Additional Nasdaq Notice", and collectively with the Prior Nasdaq Notice, the "Nasdaq Notices").

As disclosed in the Prior Form 8-K, the Company is required to submit a plan, within 60 calendar days of receiving the Prior Nasdaq Notice, or by June 19, 2023, which outlines the steps the Company expects to take to become compliant with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as extended by Rule 12b-25, or by or by October 16, 2023, to regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to develop a plan to regain compliance, that Nasdaq will accept a plan submitted by the Company or that the Company will be able to regain compliance within any extension period granted by Nasdaq. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

The Nasdaq Notices have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's shares of common stock, though Nasdaq will continue to broadcast an indicator over its market data dissemination network noting the Company's noncompliance. If the Company fails to gain timely compliance with the Rule, the Company's shares of common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.
