| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On April 7, 2026, Caring Brands, Inc. (the “Company”) received a Staff Delisting Determination letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Stockholders’ Equity Rule”), nor is it in compliance with either of the alternative listing standards, market value of listed securities of at least $35 million or net income of $500,000 from continuing operations in the most recently completed fiscal year, or in two of the three most recently completed fiscal years. The Company’s failure to comply with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule was based on the Company’s filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, reporting a stockholders’ equity of $2,091,324.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has been provided with an initial period of 45 calendar days, or until May 22, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule. Subsequent to the receipt of the Notice, and prior to that deadline, the Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule to Nasdaq. If the Company’s compliance plan is accepted by Nasdaq, then Nasdaq may, in its discretion, grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until October 4, 2026, to evidence compliance.
Neither the Notice nor the Company’s non-compliance have an immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade under the symbol “CABR.” The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Stockholders’ Equity Rule and remain listed on Nasdaq. However, there can be no assurance that the Company’s plan will be accepted or that if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is not accepted, or if it is and the Company does not regain compliance within 180 days from the date of the Notice, or if the Company fails to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s common stock will become subject to delisting.
