Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On February 4, 2026, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Nasdaq staff (the “Staff”) determined that the Company’s common stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). While companies are typically afforded a 180-calendar-day compliance period to comply with the Rule, the Staff concluded that the Company is not eligible for the compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) due to the fact that the Company effected four reverse stock splits since October of 2024, specifically a 1-for-9 reverse stock split on October 2, 2024, a 1-for-25 reverse stock split on March 31, 23025, a 1-for-20 reverse stock split on October 3, 2025, and a 1-for-20 reverse stock split on February 2, 2026, resulting in a cumulative ratio of 1-for-90,000. Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) states in part, “if a Company’s security fails to meet the continued listing requirement for minimum bid price and the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period; or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, then the Company shall not be eligible for any compliance period specified in this Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) and the Listing Qualifications Department shall issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Rule 5810 with respect to that security.”
As a result of non-compliance with the Rule, the Staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities (common stock (“AREB”) and publicly traded warrants (“AREBW”)) from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on February 13, 2026, unless the Company was to request an appeal of the determination by February 11, 2026. A hearing request would result in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process. The Company’s board of directors has chosen not to request a hearing before an independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel. If the Company does not file a hearing request by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 11, 2026, the Company’s securities will be delisted and Nasdaq will file a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
When the Company’s securities are suspended from Nasdaq, the Company expects that its common stock would be immediately eligible for quotation on the OTCID market operated by OTC Markets under its trading symbol: AREB, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading price and volume for the common stock. There can be no assurance that a market for the common stock will develop or be maintained on the OTCID market, and the Company’s stockholders may find it more difficult to buy or sell their shares.
After the Company’s common stock is delisted, the Company intends to submit an application to trade on the OTCQB Venture Market (the “OTCQB”), though no assurance can be provided that the Company will satisfy the criteria for trading on the OTCQB or that OTC Markets Group, Inc. will approve the Company’s application to trade on the OTCQB.
This report contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the timing of the delisting of the Company’s securities, the trading of the Company’s common stock on the OTCID and whether the Company’s common stock will be approved for trading on the OTCQB. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by law.
