Cyngn Faces Nasdaq Audit Committee Notice After Director Karen Macleod Steps Down

Negative Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

Cyngn Inc. told Nasdaq that its audit committee will fall to two members when director Karen Macleod's resignation takes effect, below Nasdaq's three-member requirement. The company expects until the earlier of its next annual meeting or November 3, 2027 to regain compliance by appointing a qualified independent director.

Key points

  • Macleod, Audit Committee Chair, will not stand for re-election at the November 3, 2026 Annual Meeting and resigns when the polls close
  • Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) requires at least three audit committee members, including one financially sophisticated member
  • Cyngn expects a compliance deadline of the earlier of its next annual meeting or November 3, 2027
  • Macleod said her decision was not the result of any disagreement with the company
