ITEM 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy Listing Rules
As previously disclosed, on May 5, 2026, Purple Innovation, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as notified by Nasdaq on November 5, 2025, the bid price of the Company’s listed security had closed at less than $1 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, did not comply with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Rule”). On June 11, the Company presented to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) its plan to regain compliance, which had the effect of staying any suspension or delisting action pending the Panel’s decision.
On July 20, 2026, the Company received a written decision (the "Decision") from the Panel noting the Panel’s determination to grant the Company's request for continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the condition that, on or before July 31, 2026, the Company demonstrate compliance with the Rule by evidencing a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive trading days.
In connection with its compliance plan presented to the Panel, the Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) of the Company's common stock at a ratio to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors within a range of 1-for-10 to 1-for-30. The Board subsequently fixed the final ratio of the Reverse Stock Split at 1-for-25. The Reverse Stock Split became effective prior to the opening of trading on July 20, 2026. The Company's common stock opened trading on a split-adjusted basis on Nasdaq on July 20, 2026 at $7.12 per share.
The Decision provides that the Panel reserves the right to reconsider the terms of the exception based on any event, condition, or circumstance that develops that would, in the Panel's opinion, make continued listing of the Company's securities inadvisable or unwarranted. The Company is required to provide prompt notification to Nasdaq of any significant events occurring during the exception period that may affect its compliance with Nasdaq's requirements. Any compliance documentation submitted by the Company will be subject to review by the Panel, which may request additional information before determining that the Company has satisfied the terms of the exception.
There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule within the time period specified by the Panel, that the Panel will not exercise its discretion to reconsider or modify the terms of the exception, or that the Company's common stock will remain listed on Nasdaq. If the Company does not regain compliance within the required time period, or if the Panel otherwise determines the Company has not satisfied the terms of the Decision, the Company's common stock would become subject to delisting from Nasdaq, subject to the Company's right to request review by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council.
