Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Chain Bridge I has been downgraded from the OTCQB Venture Market to the OTCID Basic Market after failing to meet public float requirements. OTC Markets Group notified the company on February 11, 2026 that the cure period had expired, and the move to OTCID became effective on February 12, 2026.

The issue stems from the company’s public float being less than 10% of total shares outstanding, below OTCQB’s continued listing standard. The company states that its business operations and SEC reporting obligations will continue unchanged, and it is evaluating strategic options to regain compliance with relevant listing standards.

Insights

Chain Bridge I lost OTCQB status due to insufficient public float and now trades on OTCID Basic.

Chain Bridge I no longer meets OTCQB’s continued listing requirement that public float be at least 10% of total shares outstanding. After a cure period that began with a notice on November 12, 2025, OTC Markets informed the company on February 11, 2026 that the cure period had expired.

As a result, the company’s securities were transferred to the OTCID Basic Market effective February 12, 2026. The company indicates it will continue filing periodic SEC reports and that business operations are not expected to be affected by the market change.

Management notes it is actively evaluating strategic options to increase public float to at least 10% and to satisfy all OTCQB eligibility requirements under Section 1 of those listing standards, which would be needed to move back to OTCQB.

Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously disclosed, on November 12, 2025, Chain Bridge I (the “Company”) received a written notice from the OTC Markets Group (“OTC”) notifying the Company that, because the Company’s public float as it is currently displayed on the Company profile is less than 10% of the total shares outstanding, the Company is not currently in compliance with the public float requirement for continued listing on OTCQB Venture Market (“OTCQB”), as set forth in Section 2 of the OTCQB listing.

On February 11, 2026, the Company received a written notice from OTC indicating that the cure period has now expired. Consequently, the Company’s securities were moved from the OTCQB market to the OTCID Basic Market (“OTCID”) on February 12, 2026. OTC further notified the Company that if it would like to be moved back to OTCQB, it must increase public float to at least 10% of the total shares outstanding and meet all of the eligibility requirements under Section 1 of the OTCQB listing standards.

The Company will continue to file its periodic reports and remain subject to the reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company is actively evaluating strategic options to regain compliance with relevant listing standards and remains committed to upholding transparency and stability for all stakeholders.

The transition of the Company’s common stock and warrants to the OTCID is not expected to affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting requirements under the rules of the SEC.
