SHF Holdings continues to report substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, exacerbated by a recent adverse court ruling in the Abaca lawsuit, which could result in damages up to $7.8 million. The company also received a Nasdaq delisting notice for failing to meet the minimum bid price and is monitoring a proposed new Nasdaq rule that could lead to immediate delisting if its market value falls below $5 million. To address liquidity, the company is engaging in highly dilutive financing, including issuing shares under an Equity Line of Credit and voluntarily reducing the conversion price of Series B Preferred Stock and warrants to $0.65 per share, which could generate $15.5 million but represents extreme dilution for existing shareholders.
