Insights

Listing standards and governance analyst

Nasdaq cites IBG for late annual meeting; cure path is available.

Innovation Beverage Group disclosed a Nasdaq notice that it failed to hold an annual shareholder meeting within twelve months of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. This is a governance and listing-compliance matter rather than an operating or financial issue, but it can become significant if not remedied.

Nasdaq has given the company 45 calendar days to submit a plan and may grant up to a 180‑day exception from the fiscal year end to regain compliance. The company states that it intends to submit a timely compliance plan and to hold an annual meeting by March 31, 2026. The practical impact will depend on successful execution of this plan within the Nasdaq timelines.
