Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Giftify, Inc. reported that on August 3, 2026, Nasdaq notified the company that its common stock no longer meets Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1 per share. The notice followed 30 consecutive business days with a closing bid below this threshold.

Under Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Giftify has 180 calendar days to regain compliance. The company will be back in good standing if, during this period, its common stock closes at or above $1 for at least ten consecutive business days. Nasdaq may grant an additional 180-day compliance period if other continued listing requirements, such as minimum market value of publicly held shares and shareholders’ equity, are satisfied. Giftify’s common stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol GIFT.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq $1 bid-price deficiency notice creates a risk to the Nasdaq Capital Market listing if Giftify does not restore a bid of at least $1 for 10 consecutive business days within the initial 180-day compliance period or any additional period granted.

Nasdaq Listing Rules regulatory
"Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that Listing Rules"
Nasdaq listing rules are the rulebook a company must follow to have its shares traded on the Nasdaq stock exchange, covering entry requirements and ongoing standards for finances, corporate governance, public disclosure and reporting. For investors they matter because the rules create baseline checks — like a driver’s license and regular inspections for a car — that promote transparency, comparability and reduce the risk of fraud or sudden delisting.
minimum bid price financial
"Rule 5550(a)(2), require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share"
The minimum bid price is the lowest share price that a market, regulator, or specific offering will accept for a trade, listing, or auction—think of it as a reserve or floor that a stock must meet to qualify for certain actions. It matters to investors because falling below that floor can limit trading options, trigger compliance measures or delisting risks, and affect liquidity and the perceived value of a holding, much like a reserve price in an auction sets the baseline for a sale.
market value of publicly held shares financial
"provided other listing criteria (e.g., minimum market value of publicly held shares, shareholders’ equity) are met"
The market value of publicly held shares is the total dollar worth of a company’s shares that are available to outside investors, calculated by multiplying the current market price by the number of shares held by the public (the “float”). It matters because it tells investors how much of the company is actually tradable and how the market is pricing that tradable portion—like a price tag on the items on a store shelf, it affects liquidity, volatility and how easy it is to buy or sell a meaningful stake.
shareholders’ equity financial
"provided other listing criteria (e.g., minimum market value of publicly held shares, shareholders’ equity) are met"
Shareholders’ equity is the portion of a company’s assets that belongs to its owners after all debts and obligations are paid — essentially assets minus liabilities, like the cash left over if a business were sold and its debts settled. Investors use it as a basic measure of a company’s financial health and per-share book value, helping assess whether shares are fairly valued and how much of a cushion exists against losses.

On August 3, 2026, the registrant (“Giftify” or the “Company”), received a notice from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that Listing Rules (the “Rules”), specifically Rule 5550(a)(2), require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share and that for the last 30 consecutive business days the Company’s closing bid price failed to meet this requirement. Nasdaq advised the Company that under Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) the Company had 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance if at any time during this 180-day period the closing bid price of the Company’s shares of common stock were at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. If still deficient, Nasdaq may grant an additional 180-day period, provided other listing criteria (e.g., minimum market value of publicly held shares, shareholders’ equity) are met.
