• Voluntary Nasdaq Delisting

  The company will voluntarily delist its Class A common stock and warrants from the Nasdaq Global Select Market, intending to file Form 25 around April 17, 2026, with delisting effective 10 days later. It plans to deregister its securities and suspend SEC reporting duties.

  Following delisting, WM Technology expects its securities to be quoted for trading on a market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc., though there is no guarantee of continued broker market-making. The company warns of likely adverse effects on price and liquidity.

WM Technology, Inc. has announced its voluntary decision to delist its common stock and warrants from the Nasdaq Global Select Market, with plans to move to OTC Markets. This is a critical development, as delisting from a major exchange typically leads to significantly reduced liquidity, investor visibility, and can negatively impact share price. While the company cites strategic reasons related to cannabis industry constraints, compliance costs, and lack of liquidity on Nasdaq, the move signals a retreat from mainstream public markets. This action follows the company's recent 10-K filing which disclosed an adverse auditor opinion on internal controls and a prior Nasdaq delisting notice, indicating ongoing challenges. Additionally, the company dismissed its independent auditor, Baker Tilly US, LLP, which had issued an adverse opinion on internal controls, and appointed a new firm. A board member also resigned, though not due to disagreements. Investors should be aware of the potential for increased volatility and reduced trading access.
