NYSE Non-Compliance Notice Received
On September 9, 2026, the NYSE notified Vertical Aerospace that its average closing price had fallen below $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period, violating Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.
-
Six-Month Cure Period
The company has six months from the notice date to regain compliance by achieving a closing price of at least $1.00 and a 30-day average closing price of at least $1.00 on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period.
-
Delisting Risk
If compliance is not regained within the cure period, NYSE delisting proceedings could commence, which would severely impair liquidity and capital access for a company already under going-concern warnings and a strategic alternatives review.
-
Current Price Far Below Threshold
The stock trades at $0.61 as of October 2, 2026, requiring a roughly 64% increase to reach the $1.00 minimum, against a backdrop of recent dilutive financings and a strategic alternatives review announced September 24, 2026.
Analysis · EVTL · Manufacturing
The NYSE has formally notified Vertical Aerospace that its average closing price fell below $1.00 over a 30-day trading period, triggering a six-month cure window. With the stock currently at $0.61, well below the threshold, the company must achieve both a $1.00 closing price and a $1.00 30-day average by the end of any calendar month during the cure period. Failure to regain compliance would lead to delisting proceedings, severely impairing liquidity and access to capital for a company already facing going-concern warnings and a strategic alternatives review. This is the first public disclosure of the notice, making it a material governance and listing-risk event.
