Introductory Note
SPAR Group, Inc. ("SGRP" or the "Corporation", and together with its subsidiaries, the "Company", "SPAR" or "SPAR Group") has listed its shares of common stock, par value $0.01 ("Common Stock") for trading through the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") under the trading symbol "SGRP" and periodically files reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Reference is made to: (a) SGRP's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026 (the "2025 Annual Report"), and (b) SGRP's 2026 Proxy Statement, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and other reports and statements as and when filed with the SEC (together with the 2025 Annual Report, each an "SEC Report").
Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
The information set forth in the Introductory Note of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.01.
As previously disclosed on January 12, 2026, the Corporation received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Corporation was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price per share for the Corporation’s Common Stock had closed below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days (the “Bid Price Rule”). The Company was given until July 13, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule (the “Compliance Period”).
As previously disclosed on April 8, 2026, the Corporation received a letter from Nasdaq indicating that the Corporation was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) because the Company did not meet the requirement to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Stockholders’ Equity Rule”).
On July 14, 2026, the Corporation received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the Staff determined that the Corporation did not comply with the Bid Price Rule within the Compliance Period. The Notice further indicated that the Corporation was not eligible for a second 180-day period to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule because the Corporation does not comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement for The Nasdaq Capital Market.
As a result of non-compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Staff has determined to delist the Corporation’s Common Stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on July 23, 2026, unless the Corporation was to request an appeal of the determination by July 21, 2026. The Corporation’s non-compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule was an additional and separate basis for the Staff’s determination to delist the Corporation’s Common Stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market. If the Corporation does not file a hearing request by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 21, 2026, the Corporation’s Common Stock will be delisted and Nasdaq will file a Form 25-NSE with the SEC, which will remove the Corporation’s Common Stock from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

Readers can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "continue," "plan," "project," or the negative or variations of these terms or other similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements made by the Corporation in this Current Report may include (without limitation) statements regarding risks, uncertainties, cautions, circumstances and other factors ("Risks"). Those Risks include (without limitation): failure to maintain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements; the timing of the delisting of the Company's Common Stock; the costs and effects of changing the Company's principal independent registered accounting firm; potential or continued revenue growth, gross margin expansion, and continued favorable shift in service mix from remodeling toward merchandising services; continued and new long-standing relationships with retailers, distributors and makers of consumer goods; successful results from merchandising partnerships and relationships with other companies, borrowing, repaying or guarantying the Company's recent unsecured loans or paying interest thereon; issuing the shares of the Corporation's 'Common Stock; the departure in 2025 of various of the Corporation's executives previously reported and the agreements made with them; potential non-compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules regarding minimum bid prices, the filing of periodic financial reports, director independence, holding annual meetings, or other rules; the impact of selling certain of the Corporation's subsidiaries; or any impact resulting from the Risks on revenues, earnings or cash; the Company's cash flows or financial condition; and plans, intentions, expectations. The Corporation's forward-looking statements also include (without limitation) statements made in "Business", "Risk Factors", "Cybersecurity", "Legal Proceedings", "Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities", "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", "Controls and Procedures", and "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence" in the Corporation's 2025 Annual Report referenced below.
The information contained in this Current Report is made only as of the date hereof, even if subsequently made available by the Corporation on its website or otherwise. For additional information and risk factors that could affect the Company, see the Corporation's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, as filed on March 31, 2026, by SGRP with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and SGRP's Proxy Statement for its 2026 Annual Stockholders Meeting, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other reports and statements as and when filed with the SEC (including the Annual Report, Proxy Statement, Quarterly Reports, and Current Reports, each an "SEC Report").
You should carefully review and consider the Corporation's forward-looking statements (including all Risks and other cautions and uncertainties) and other information made, contained, noted or referenced in or incorporated by reference into this Current Report, but you should not place undue reliance on any of them. The results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company (including its assets, business, clients, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, indebtedness, legal costs, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, performance, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation, vendors, or other achievement, results, risks, trends or condition) and other events and circumstances planned, intended, anticipated, estimated or otherwise expected by the Company (collectively, "Expectations"), and our forward-looking statements (including all Risks) and other information reflect the Corporation's current views about future events and circumstances. Although the Corporation believes those Expectations and views are reasonable, the results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company or other events and circumstances may differ materially from our Expectations and views, and they cannot be assured or guaranteed by the Corporation, since they are subject to Risks and other assumptions, changes in circumstances and unpredictable events (many of which are beyond the Corporation's control). In addition, new Risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Corporation to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect the Company. Accordingly, the Corporation cannot assure you that its Expectations will be achieved in whole or in part, that it has identified all potential Risks, or that it can successfully avoid or mitigate such Risks in whole or in part, any of which could be significant and materially adverse to the Company and the value of your investment in the Corporation's common stock.
These forward-looking statements reflect the Corporation's Expectations, views, Risks and assumptions only as of the date hereof, and the Corporation does not intend, assume any obligation, or promise to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements (including any Risks or Expectations) or other information (in whole or in part), whether as a result of new information, new or worsening Risks or uncertainties, changed circumstances, future events, recognition, or otherwise.
