Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 23, 2026, Sanuwave Health, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below $50,000,000, which is the minimum MVLS required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be traded on The Nasdaq Global Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company is provided a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until March 22, 2027, to regain compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement. If, at any time during this compliance period, the Company’s MVLS closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the minimum MVLS requirement before the expiration of the compliance period, the Company will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting. Alternatively, the Company may consider applying to transfer its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that it satisfies the applicable continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to monitor its MVLS and consider available options to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. There can be no assurance that the Company will successfully maintain the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Global Market or, if transferred, on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, such as statements relating to the Company’s consideration of available options to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules and the Company’s ability to remain listed on Nasdaq, which are estimates as of the date hereof. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not statements of historical fact regarding intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers. Forward-looking statements may contain words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expect,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate” and “potential,” the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Any expectations based on these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties and important factors that may cause future results to differ materially from the Company’s current expectations, including, among other things, the Company’s future financial results and stock price performance. For other risk factors affecting the Company, see the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. These and many other factors could affect the Company’s future financial condition and operating results and cause actual results to differ materially from expectations based on forward-looking statements made in this report or elsewhere by the Company or on its behalf. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements.
