BARK Announces Receipt of Notice of Non-Compliance with the NYSE Continued Listing Standards
BARK, Inc. ("BARK" or the "Company") (NYSE:BARK), a leading global omnichannel dog brand with the mission to make all dogs happy, announced today that the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") issued a notice (the "Notice") on July 10, 2025 informing the Company that it is no longer in compliance with its continued listing standards set forth in Section 802.01C (the "Minimum Stock Price Standard") because the average closing price of the Company's common stock was less than $1.00 per share over a consecutive 30 trading-day period ended July 9, 2025.
Under Section 802.01C, the Company has six months following receipt of the Notice to regain compliance with the listing standard. Compliance can be achieved if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period (or the last trading day of the cure period) the Company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the prior 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of the applicable calendar month or the cure period. The Company intends to remain listed on the NYSE and is considering all available options to regain compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to stockholder approval.
The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during such cure period, subject to the Company's compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards. Furthermore, the Notice is not anticipated to impact the ongoing business operations of the Company or its reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
