Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to
Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
|
On May 28, 2025, Broadway Financial Corporation (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying
the Company that it is not in compliance with the periodic financial reporting requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (“Rule 5250(c)(1)”) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market because its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (the “Form 10-Q”) was not filed within the time period prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq and the Company currently expects to regain compliance in
the near future.
The Company was unable to timely complete and file the Form 10-Q because it requires additional time to determine the value of a Securities Purchase Option
Agreement affording the Company the right, subject to certain conditions, to repurchase its Series C Preferred Stock issued to the U.S. Treasury under the Emergency Capital Investment Program. In addition, the Company requires additional time to
address the fair value measurements disclosure. Further, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Crowe LLP, requires additional time to complete its review procedures for the Form 10-Q relating to the Company’s disclosure
controls and procedures.
The Notice states that the Company has 60 calendar days from May 28, 2025, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance with Rule 5250(c)(1). The Company
intends to submit a plan to regain compliance within the 60-day period. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, then Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 days from the prescribed due date, or until November 17, 2025, for filing the Form 10-Q to
regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Company plans to file the Form 10-Q as promptly as reasonably practicable and prior to the 60-day deadline for submitting a compliance plan to Nasdaq.
Item 7.01
|
Regulation FD Disclosure.
|
On June 2, 2025, the Company issued a press release regarding its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The information set forth in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “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 such section. The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1, shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing to this Current Report.
