Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 11, 2026, Brightline Interactive, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), received a written notification (the “Staff Determination”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that Nasdaq’s staff had determined to delist the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), requiring a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Requirement”).
As previously disclosed, on March 13, 2026, the Company received deficiency notices from Nasdaq indicating that the closing bid price of the Common Stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, and as such the Company was not in compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. In accordance with the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company was given 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement, or until September 9, 2026. The Company did not regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by the September 9, 2026 deadline, and Nasdaq subsequently issued the Staff Determination on September 11, 2026.
Under the Staff Determination, the Company has the right to appeal the Staff Determination by requesting a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Hearings Panel”). Any such request must be submitted by 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on September 18, 2026. The Company plans to file such appeal by timely requesting a hearing (the “Hearing”) before the Hearings Panel. A Hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission pending the issuance of a written decision by the Hearings Panel. The Common Stock will remain listed on Nasdaq, pending the outcome of the Hearing.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be granted the Hearing or that following the Hearing, the Hearings Panel will determine to continue to allow the listing of the Common Stock on Nasdaq or that the Company will be able to evidence compliance with the applicable listing criteria within the period of time, if any, that may be granted by the Hearings Panel.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Words like “plans,” and “will,” or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology, are used to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Although the Company believes that it is basing its expectations and beliefs on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of what is currently known about its business and operations, there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from what the Company expects or believes. Some of the factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from its expectations or beliefs are disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section, as well as other sections, of its reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which include, without limitation, its ability to regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards and maintain the listing of its securities on Nasdaq. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and the Company undertakes no duty to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
