Item 8.01.  Other Events

 

On January 17, 2023, Autoscope Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) filed a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to voluntarily deregister its common stock common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company is eligible to deregister its common stock by filing a Form 15 under Section 12 (g) of the Exchange Act because it has fewer than 300 shareholders of record.  The Company’s obligation to file periodic reports, such as Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Current Reports on Form 8-K, under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act were suspended upon filing the Form 15. The deregistration under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act is expected to be effective 90 days after filing the Form 15, at which time the Company’s other filing requirements under Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act will terminate. 

The Company has issued a press release regarding its filing of the Form 15, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
