Equity Market Structure Analyst

MSP Recovery loses Nasdaq listing after failing equity and bid-price rules.

MSP Recovery, Inc. discloses that Nasdaq will delist its common stock after a Hearings Panel denied the company’s appeal. The decision follows earlier findings that stockholders’ equity reported in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 was below the $2.5 million minimum required by Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), and that the company did not meet alternative standards tied to a $35 million market value of listed securities or $500,000 in net income.

Nasdaq staff also determined that the company’s securities failed the minimum bid price requirement, as the bid had closed below $1.00 per share over 30 consecutive business days under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). After the Panel denied the appeal on December 18, 2025, Nasdaq set suspension of trading and delisting of the common stock, effective with the open of trading on December 22, 2025.

The company states that, commencing on December 22, 2025, it expects its common stock to continue to trade on the OTC Markets OTCQB market under the ticker “MSPR.” Actual trading dynamics will depend on OTCQB market participation and investor interest, with future disclosures in company filings likely to provide more detail on any longer-term listing plans.

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

As previously disclosed, on October 22, 2025, the Company received a Staff Delisting Determination (the “Delisting Notification”), notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, under Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), as the Company’s stockholders’ equity reported in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, was below the required minimum of $2.5 million, and the Company did not meet the alternative compliance standards, relating to the market value of listed securities of $35 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years.

On October 29, 2025, the Company timely requested a review of the Delisting Notification by a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), and on November 21, 2025, the Company timely submitted its Required Written Submission to the Panel. The hearing request stayed suspension of trading of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE, pending the Panel’s decision.

On November 28, 2025, the Company received an additional staff determination letter (“Additional Staff Determination”) indicating that the bid price of the Company’s listed securities has closed at less than $1.00 per share over the previous 30 consecutive business days, and, as a result, the Company is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The Staff determined that such non-compliance served as an additional basis for delisting the Company’s securities from Nasdaq. The Company was afforded an opportunity to present its views to the Panel with respect to this additional deficiency at the December 11, 2025 hearing.

On December 11, 2025, the Panel held a hearing on the Appeal of the Staff’s October 22, 2025 and November 28, 2025 decisions to commence proceedings to delist the common stock of the Company. On December 18, 2025, the Company received further notice that the Panel had denied the Appeal, and that the Company’s common stock will be delisted from trading on Nasdaq based on the failure to comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement and the minimum bid price rule. Accordingly, the Company’s common stock will be suspended from trading on Nasdaq effective with the open of trading on December 22, 2025. Commencing on December 22, 2025, we expect the Company’s common stock to continue to trade on the OTC Markets OTCQB market under the ticker “MSPR.”
