Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed in a Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the “Form 12b-25”) filed by the Company on May 8, 2026, the Company is delayed in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 28, 2026 (the “1Q2026 10-Q”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

On June 1, 2026, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the Company’s delay in filing its 1Q2026 10-Q, the Company is not currently in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company has 60 calendar days after the Notice, or until July 31, 2026, to submit a plan of compliance to Nasdaq addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules. Pursuant to the Notice, Nasdaq has the discretion to grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from date of the Notice, or November 25, 2026, to regain compliance. The Company intends to take the necessary steps to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules.

As previously disclosed in the Form 12b-25, the filing of the 1Q2026 10-Q was delayed as a result of the restatement of previously issued financial statements and related delay in the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 27, 2025 (the “2025 10-K”).

Nasdaq previously delivered a notice to the Company on April 15, 2026 notifying the Company that, as a result of the delay in filing its 2025 10-K, the Company was not in compliance with the Rule. The Company filed the 2025 10-K with the SEC on May 19, 2026. On May 29, 2026, Nasdaq delivered a notice to the Company indicating that as a result of the filing of the 2025 10-K on May 19, 2026, the Company returned to compliance with the Rule.

The Company continues to work diligently to complete and file the 1Q2026 10-Q and expects to file it as soon as reasonably practicable.

Forward Looking Statements

The disclosure set forth in this Item 3.01 contains a number of forward-looking statements. Words such as “intends,” “expect,” or “will,” and variations of such words and similar future or conditional expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our beliefs and expectations relating to the timing of the filing of the 1Q2026 10-Q. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future results and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, a material delay in the Company’s financial reporting, uncertainties about the timing of the Company’s submission of a compliance plan, Nasdaq’s acceptance of any such plan, the duration of any extension that may be granted by Nasdaq, the risk that the Company will be unable to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 5, 2026, the Company issued a press release disclosing the receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is being furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information provided pursuant to Item 7.01, including the exhibits attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

Driven Brands Receives Expected Nasdaq Notice Related to Delayed Q1 2026 Form 10-Q Filing CHARLOTTE, N.C., (BUSINESS WIRE) June 5, 2026 -- Driven Brands Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: DRVN) (“Driven Brands” or the “Company”) today announced that it received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on June 1, 2026, indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Listing Rule”) due to the delayed filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 28, 2026 (the “2026 Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Listing Rule requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC. The 2026 Form 10-Q filing delay is related to the previously announced restatement of the Company’s prior period financial statements and the associated delay in filing its 2025 Form 10-K, which was filed on May 19, 2026. The Notice from Nasdaq is standard practice in the event of a delayed periodic financial report filing and has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq. In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company has 60 calendar days after the Notice, or until July 31, 2026, to submit a plan of compliance to Nasdaq addressing how the Company intends to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. Pursuant to the Notice, Nasdaq has the discretion to grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the 2026 Form 10-Q’s due date, or November 25, 2026, for the Company to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. The Company is working to complete its financial reporting and currently expects to file the 2026 Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.
