Kaspien Holdings Inc. Announces Voluntary Delisting from the OTCQB and Deregistration Under the Securities Act

SPOKANE, Wash. , Dec. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaspien Holdings Inc. (OTCQB:KSPN) ("Kaspien" or the "Company") today notified the OTCQB of the Company's decision to voluntarily delist its common stock from the OTCQB and its intent to file a Form 25 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on or about December 28, 2023. As a result, the Company expects the delisting of its common stock to become effective on or about January 8, 2024. The Company also will be taking steps to deregister as a public company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

After an assessment of the Company's current cash and liquidity position and near-term debt maturities, the Company has initiated a plan to wind down the Company's operations in an orderly fashion. Such plan includes the previously announced reduction in force of substantially all of the Company's employees other than a core group of employees required to execute an orderly wind down of the Company and support the efforts to maximize the value of the Company's business and assets. The Company expects that the actions to wind down the operations will be substantially completed by May 1, 2024. The Company intends to wind down its operations in an orderly manner without the need for a bankruptcy filing.
