Item
3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On
September 10, 2026, InnSuites Hospitality Trust (the “Trust”) received written notice from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE
American”) indicating that the Compliance Plan submitted by Trust has been accepted by NYSE Regulation and grant a plan period
(“Plan Period”) through December 24, 2027 (“Plan Period Deadline”). The Trust is not in compliance with NYSE
American continued listing standards currently, but its listing is being continued pursuant to an extension. NYSE Regulation staff will
review the Company periodically for compliance with the initiatives outlined in the plan. If the Company is not in compliance with the
continued listing standards by the Plan Period Deadline (December 24, 2027), or if the Company does not make progress consistent with
the plan during the Plan Period, NYSE Regulation staff could initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. The Company may appeal a
staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.
The
notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Trust’s shares of beneficial interest on NYSE American, subject
to the Trust’s compliance with NYSE American’s other continued listing requirements.
The
Trust is currently taking steps and applicable actions intended to continue to increase stockholders’ equity and support continued
listing compliance. On August 19, 2026, the Trust increased stockholders’ equity by $3 million, as one step toward returning to
NYSE American listing compliance. The Trust expects that these efforts may include, subject to applicable approvals and conditions, one
or more of the following: capital-raising transactions, debt or capitalization restructuring, strategic transactions, reduction or deferral
of certain cash uses, and operational initiatives intended to improve hotel gross operating profits. Any such actions remain subject
to applicable board or committee approval, accounting confirmation, NYSE American requirements, securities law compliance, and other
conditions.
There
can be no assurance that any proposed transaction or initiative will be completed, that the Trust will be able to maintain compliance
within the plan period, or that the Trust will otherwise remain in compliance with other NYSE American continued listing standards.

IHT
RECEIVES NYSE-AMERICAN APPROVAL FOR COMPLIANCE PLAN; REVERSE MERGER DISCUSSIONS CONTINUE
Phoenix,
AZ, September 14, 2026 - InnSuites Hospitality Trust (NYSE American: IHT) announced today that it has received notice from the NYSE-American
that the Compliance Plan previously submitted on July 24, 2026 has been accepted, and the Trust has been granted a plan period through
December 24, 2027. Although the Trust is not currently in compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards, its listing is being
continued pursuant to an extension.
The
Trust timely submitted the compliance plan to NYSE American on July 24, 2026, advising NYSE American of actions the Trust has taken or
intends to take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards. The 18-month cure period allows the Trust to regain compliance
by/before December 24, 2027.
The
Trust recently increased stockholders’ equity by approximately $3.0 million, as part of IHT’s efforts in regaining compliance.
The Trust continues to pursue strategic alternatives, including a potential reverse merger or other strategic transactions, with operational
initiatives underway intended to improve hotel gross operating profits.
All
such actions are subject to applicable board or committee approval, accounting confirmation, NYSE American requirements, securities law
compliance, market conditions, and other conditions. There can be no assurance that NYSE American will accept the Trust’s compliance
plan, that any proposed transaction or initiative will be completed, that the Trust will regain compliance within the plan period, or
that the Trust will otherwise continue to satisfy other NYSE American continued listing standards.
IHT
has exceeded $4 million in total hotel revenues for the Fiscal First Half of the current Fiscal Year (February 1, 2026 through January
31, 2027), including combined hotel July revenue of $600,293, an all-time record for the month of July for the two hotels combined. Management
believes these operating results, together with the Trust’s ongoing review of capitalization alternatives, strategic alternatives,
and selected diversification opportunities, support the Trust’s efforts to develop, submit, and successfully complete a credible
compliance plan to NYSE American.
RRF
LLLP, the 76% owned subsidiary Management Company for IHT, manages the IHT Hotels, as well as InnDependent Boutique Collection (IBC Hotels,
LLC). IBC and UniGen are both diversification opportunities for IHT. IHT has received a recent surge of interest in a merger, based on
its valuable NYSE American trading platform. IHT is further attractive with its recent $3 million increased equity base.
Consolidated
Net Income for the Fiscal First Quarter was $74,702, an increase of 48% from the prior year Fiscal First Quarter ended April 30, 2026
(February 1, 2026, through April 30, 2026).
Consolidated
Net Income before non-cash expense items of depreciation and non-cash Best Western Travel Rewards credit expenses, was a positive profit
of $307,326 for the 2027 Fiscal First Quarter.
The
continued growing demand for electricity from data centers plus the influx of electric vehicles, as well as projected growing needs for
artificial intelligence, increased demand for electricity over the next five years is projected to approximately double, and bodes well
for the IHT investment in UniGen Power, Inc. This product is a potentially power industry disruptive economical, relatively clean energy,
cost effective electric generation innovation. Even though it is high risk, UniGen offers IHT high upside potential.
On
February 20, 2026, James Wirth, IHT President, was elected Chairman, CEO, and President of UniGen, while Marc Berg, IHT EVP, was elected
as Vice Chairman, EVP, and Secretary/Treasurer of UniGen, with plans to rejuvenate the UniGen progress to benefit all the UniGen debt
and equity holders, including IHT. Target date for the first two prototype engines to be ready for testing is in less than two years.
IHT
management believes that due to real estate held on the books of IHT at book values significantly below current market value, due to
clean energy diversification high profit potential ahead, IBC independent hotel services prospects, a potential merger or reverse merger
future, plus improving hospitality profitability before non-cash depreciation and other non-cash items, along with the recent increase
of IHT equity of $3 million, the IHT future looks bright.
Our
most recent dividend paid in February 2026, at the start of the current Fiscal Year 2027, extended IHT’s uninterrupted, continuous
annual dividends to 56 years, since 1971, when IHT was first listed on the NYSE. IHT future plans include annual dividends, with the
next dividend tentatively scheduled for February 15, 2027, at the beginning of the 2028 Fiscal Year.
Management
believes that the Trust’s hotel operating results, real estate assets, capitalization initiatives, and strategic alternatives provide
a positive basis for the Trust. There can be no assurance that any of these initiatives will be successful, that the Trust will complete
any equity-enhancing transaction, or that the Trust will regain or maintain compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards.
