OLB Group (NASDAQ: OLB) warned by Nasdaq over sub-$1 share price

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

The OLB Group, Inc. received a notice from Nasdaq on January 29, 2026 stating that its common stock had closed below the required $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a non-compliance status with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The company has 180 calendar days, until July 28, 2026, to regain compliance. If the closing bid price is at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days within this grace period, compliance will be restored. If compliance is not regained, Nasdaq may initiate delisting, although OLB would have the right to appeal. The stock will continue trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market during the grace period, subject to meeting other listing requirements.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Nasdaq minimum bid-price non-compliance notice – OLB’s stock traded below the $1.00 minimum for 30 consecutive business days, creating a formal risk of future delisting if the company does not regain compliance within the 180-day grace period.

Insights

Equity listing & market structure analyst

OLB faces Nasdaq bid-price deficiency with a defined cure window.

The OLB Group has fallen below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid requirement for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a formal non-compliance notice under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This status reflects sustained share-price weakness rather than an immediate removal from the exchange.

The company has 180 calendar days, until July 28, 2026, to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid of at least $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days. This framework provides time for potential corrective corporate actions or market-driven price changes within clearly defined parameters.

If OLB does not meet the standard by July 28, 2026, Nasdaq may begin delisting proceedings, though the company can appeal. Any eventual delisting would move trading off the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the outcome would depend on future bid-price performance and any appeal process.

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

On January 29, 2026, The OLB Group, Inc. (“we”, “us” or “our”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) notifying us that, for a period of 30 consecutive business days, we failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 as required for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have 180 calendar days, or until July 28, 2026, to regain compliance. If, at any time during the 180-day grace period, our closing bid price is $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, we will have regained compliance and NASDAQ will provide us with written confirmation of such.

If we do not regain compliance with the continued listing requirements during the grace periods, NASDAQ will give us written notice that our securities are subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, we may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to delist our securities, but there can be no assurance NASDAQ would grant our request for continued listing.

Our common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NASDAQ Capital Market during the grace period, subject to our compliance with the other continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market.
