Exhibit 99.1

Evolv Receives Expected Nasdaq Delinquency Notification

No Immediate Effect on the Company’s Securities Listed on Nasdaq

Waltham, Massachusetts – November 22, 2024 – Evolv Technology (“Evolv” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: EVLV), a leading security technology company pioneering AI-based solutions designed to create safer experiences, today announced it received an expected delinquency notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on November 21, 2024, which indicated that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Nasdaq Listing Rule”) as a result of the delayed filing of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2024 (the “Quarterly Report”). As previously announced, the delay in filing the Company’s Quarterly Report is the result of a now largely complete internal investigation into certain sales practices of the Company, which impacted revenue recognition and other metrics. The Nasdaq Listing Rule requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). This notification has no immediate effect on the Company’s securities listed on Nasdaq.

Nasdaq has informed the Company that it must submit a plan of compliance within 60 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or by January 20, 2025, to address how it intends to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rule. If accepted, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the filing's due date as extended by Rule 12b-25, or until May 19, 2025, to regain compliance.

The Company is working diligently to file the Quarterly Report as soon as reasonably practicable.
