Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Adagio Medical Holdings, Inc. reported that on August 13, 2026 it received a Nasdaq deficiency letter for failing to meet the Nasdaq Capital Market minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires at least $2,500,000 of stockholders’ equity, while the company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 reported stockholders’ equity of $(415,000). The company also does not meet the alternative standards based on market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations. The notice has no immediate effect on the Nasdaq listing. Adagio has 45 days, no later than September 28, 2026, to submit a compliance plan; if accepted, Nasdaq may grant up to 180 additional days to regain compliance. The company plans to submit the compliance plan, monitor equity and evaluate options, while highlighting risks around liquidity, financing needs and its ability to continue operating as a going concern.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq listing deficiency for equity: Stockholders’ equity of $(415,000) is below the $2,500,000 Nasdaq Capital Market requirement, triggering a formal non-compliance notice.
  • Risk to continued listing: Failure to present an acceptable plan or regain compliance within potential up to 180 days could lead to delisting proceedings before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
  • Going-concern and liquidity risk: The company cites its current liquidity, need for additional financing, and need for more capital to continue to operate as a going concern.

Filing Explained

The filing adds a procedural fallback: if Nasdaq rejects the compliance plan, Adagio may appeal that determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing Securities
The company received a delisting notice or transferred its listing to a different exchange.
Nasdaq minimum stockholders’ equity $2,500,000 Required stockholders’ equity under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for Nasdaq Capital Market
Reported stockholders’ equity $(415,000) Stockholders’ equity reported in Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026
Compliance plan deadline September 28, 2026 Latest date within 45 days to submit Nasdaq compliance plan
Potential extension period 180 days Maximum additional period Nasdaq Staff may grant to regain equity compliance
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) regulatory
"Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market"
Stockholders’ Equity Requirement financial
"maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”)"
A stockholders’ equity requirement is a minimum amount of net assets — assets minus liabilities — that a company must keep on its balance sheet to meet rules set by regulators, lenders or stock exchanges. Think of it as a required safety buffer or minimum bank balance that shows the company has enough of its own capital to absorb losses; falling below it can limit dividends, trigger covenants or risk sanctions, so investors watch it as a sign of financial health and compliance.
deficiency letter regulatory
"received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department"
Nasdaq Hearings Panel regulatory
"the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel"
A Nasdaq hearings panel is a group of experts that reviews cases when a company's stock listing is at risk of being removed from the exchange. They evaluate whether the company has met certain standards and determine if it can keep trading on Nasdaq. This process matters to investors because it can affect a company's ability to raise money and maintain credibility in the market.
going concern financial
"need for additional capital to fund its planned programs and operations and to continue to operate as a going concern"
Going concern is the accounting assumption that a company will keep operating and meeting its obligations for the foreseeable future. The phrase matters most when a company or its auditors disclose substantial doubt about it, a formal warning that the business may not have enough resources to continue without raising money, restructuring, or selling assets. That language in a filing or press release signals elevated financial risk.

Stockholders’ Equity Requirement

 

On August 13, 2026, Adagio Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). The Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026, reported stockholders’ equity of $(415,000). As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company does not have a market value of listed securities of $35 million, or net income from continued operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years, the alternative quantitative standards for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

The notification received has no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has been provided 45 calendar days, but no later than September 28, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”). If the Compliance Plan is acceptable to the Staff, they may grant an extension of 180 calendar days from the date of the Staff notification to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

 

If the Staff does not accept the Compliance Plan, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that the Compliance Plan has been rejected. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

 

The Company intends to submit the Compliance Plan on or before September 28, 2026, monitor its stockholders’ equity and evaluate further available options to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
