• Second Nasdaq Deficiency Notice Received

  On March 27, 2026, Dyadic International received a deficiency notice from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff, citing non-compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b).

• Failure to Meet Financial Listing Requirements

  The deficiency is due to not maintaining at least $2.5 million in stockholders' equity, $35 million in market value of listed securities, or $500,000 of net income from continuing operations.

• Compounding Delisting Risk

  This new deficiency is separate from the previously disclosed minimum bid price deficiency (Rule 5550(a)(2)), meaning the company now faces two distinct threats to its Nasdaq listing.

• Compliance Plan Deadline

  The company has 45 calendar days, until May 11, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance for the new deficiency, with a potential cure period of up to 180 days.

This 8-K filing reveals a critical development for Dyadic International, as it has received a second, distinct deficiency notice from Nasdaq. This new notice, under Rule 5550(b), indicates the company's failure to meet minimum requirements for stockholders' equity, market value of listed securities, or net income. This comes on top of the previously disclosed minimum bid price deficiency (Rule 5550(a)(2)). Facing two separate delisting threats significantly elevates the risk of the company's common stock being removed from the Nasdaq Capital Market, especially as the stock is currently trading near its 52-week low. While the company has 45 days to submit a compliance plan for this new deficiency, and a potential cure period, the dual non-compliance signals severe financial and operational challenges. Investors should be aware of the heightened uncertainty regarding the company's continued listing.
