Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule (Form 8-K)
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 20, 2026, IP Strategy Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), indicating that the Company's common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock"), did not meet the minimum bid price required set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"), as the closing bid price for the Common Stock was below $1.00 per share for thirty (30) consecutive business days. Although issuers are typically provided a 180-calendar-day compliance period to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the notice further stated that, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for any compliance period because the Company effected a reverse stock split within the prior one-year period, specifically a 1-for-20 reverse stock split effected on November 5, 2025.
The Company expects to file with Nasdaq an appeal of the Nasdaq staff's delisting determination no later than March 27, 2026, following which Nasdaq will schedule a hearing on the appeal. The Company's filing of an appeal will stay the delisting of the Common Stock. In anticipation of its filing with Nasdaq of an appeal, on March 20, 2026, the Company filed with the SEC a proxy statement for a special meeting of its stockholders as of record on March 19, 2026 to be held on April 10, 2026 to consider a proposal to authorize a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio ranging from 1:3 to 1:20, the actual ratio to be determined by the Company's board of directors. If the proposed reverse stock split is approved by the Company's stockholders at the special meeting, the Company expects promptly to effect a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio that will allow the bid price of the Common Stock to close at or above $1.00 per share. However, there can be no assurance that there will be sufficient time for the Common Stock to reach and exceed such bid price for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days prior the scheduled Nasdaq hearing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement prior to the Company's hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"), or that the Panel will grant the Company an additional extension of time to regain Bid Price compliance.
