• Nasdaq Delisting Notice Received

  On March 20, 2026, the company received a notice from Nasdaq indicating non-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement (stock below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days).

• Ineligible for Standard Compliance Period

  The company is not eligible for the typical 180-calendar-day compliance period because it effected a 1-for-20 reverse stock split on November 5, 2025, within the prior one-year period.

• Appeal and Second Reverse Stock Split Attempt

  The company plans to appeal the delisting determination by March 27, 2026, which will stay the delisting. In anticipation, it filed a proxy statement on March 20, 2026, for a special meeting on April 10, 2026, to authorize another reverse stock split (ratio 1:3 to 1:20).

• Uncertainty of Compliance

  There is no assurance that the company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or that Nasdaq will grant an additional extension of time.

IP Strategy Holdings, a micro-cap company, received a critical delisting notice from Nasdaq for failing to meet the minimum bid price requirement. The situation is exacerbated by the company's ineligibility for the standard 180-day compliance period, as it already executed a 1-for-20 reverse stock split in November 2025. This places the company in an urgent position, requiring a successful appeal and a second reverse stock split within a short timeframe to avoid delisting. The outcome of the appeal and the proposed reverse split is uncertain, posing a significant risk to the company's Nasdaq listing and investor confidence.
