Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 2, 2026, Borealis Foods Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based on the Company's Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer satisfies the minimum MVLS requirement of $35,000,000 for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Rule”). The Notice also states that the Company does not currently satisfy the alternative continued listing standards under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(b)(1) (stockholders' equity) and 5550(b)(3) (net income from continuing operations). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's Common Shares or Warrants on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Notice pertains to the Company's Common Shares; the continued listing of the Company's Warrants is dependent on the continued listing of the Common Shares, and if the Common Shares were to be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market, the Warrants would also cease to be listed. This Current Report on Form 8-K constitutes the Company's public announcement of receipt of the Notice, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b).

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) provides the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 29, 2026, in which to regain compliance with the MVLS Rule. The Company will regain compliance if, at any time during the compliance period, the Company's MVLS closes at $35,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, although Nasdaq staff has discretion to require the Company to maintain a closing MVLS of $35,000,000 or more for up to 20 consecutive business days before determining that the Company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, the Company will receive written notification from Nasdaq that its securities are subject to delisting, at which time the Company would be entitled to appeal Nasdaq's delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

The Company intends to monitor the market value of its listed securities during the compliance period and to consider available options for regaining compliance with the MVLS Rule. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the MVLS Rule or any other Nasdaq continued listing requirement.
