Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed in a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the “Form 12b-25”) filed by the Company on May 8, 2026, the Company is delayed in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2026 (the “1Q2026 10-Q”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
On June 1, 2026, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the Company’s delay in filing its 1Q2026 10-Q, the Company is not currently in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company has 60 calendar days after the Notice, or until July 31, 2026, to submit a plan of compliance to Nasdaq addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules. Pursuant to the Notice, Nasdaq has the discretion to grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from date of the Notice, or November 25, 2026, to regain compliance. The Company intends to take the necessary steps to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules.
As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25, the filing of the 1Q2026 10-Q was delayed as a result of the restatement of previously issued financial statements and related delay in the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2025 (the “2025 10-K”).
Nasdaq previously delivered a notice to the Company on April 15, 2026 notifying the Company that, as a result of the delay in filing its 2025 10-K, the Company was not in compliance with the Rule. The Company filed the 2025 10-K with the SEC on May 19, 2026. On May 29, 2026, Nasdaq delivered a notice to the Company indicating that as a result of the filing of the 2025 10-K on May 19, 2026, the Company returned to compliance with the Rule.
The Company continues to work diligently to complete and file the 1Q2026 10-Q and expects to file it as soon as reasonably practicable.

(NASDAQ: DRVN) (“Driven Brands” or the “Company”) today announced that it received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on June 1, 2026, indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) due to the delayed filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 28, 2026 (the “2026 Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Listing Rule requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC. The 2026 Form 10-Q filing delay is related to the previously announced restatement of the Company’s prior period financial statements and the associated delay in filing its 2025 Form 10-K, which was filed on May 19, 2026.

Pursuant to the Notice, Nasdaq has the discretion to grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the 2026 Form 10-Q’s due date, or November 25, 2026, for the Company to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. The Company is working to complete its financial reporting and currently expects to file the 2026 Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.
