Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 17, 2026, Getty Images Holding Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) that the Company is not currently in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.
The Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Class A common stock from the NYSE. In accordance with NYSE rules, the Company has a period of six months following receipt of the Notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement.
The Company intends to notify the NYSE within ten business days of its receipt of the Notice of its intent to cure the deficiency and to return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing standard. The Company can regain compliance at any time within the six-month cure period if on the last trading day of any calendar month during 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 preceding 30 trading-day period.
The Company’s Class A common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the six-month cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing standards.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
As required by Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Company issued a press release on March 17, 2026, announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report on Form 8-K 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 under that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
