Insights

Nasdaq Capital Market approval may enhance visibility and liquidity for QT Imaging.

QT Imaging Holdings has received approval for its common stock to list on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with trading expected to start on January 28, 2026 under the symbol QTI. Moving to a national exchange often broadens the potential investor base and can improve trading liquidity compared with smaller venues.

The company pairs this news with a detailed discussion of risks, including its ability to maintain Nasdaq listing requirements, commercialize the QT Imaging Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanner, resolve a material weakness in internal controls, and access future financing. Actual benefits from the uplisting will depend on execution against these operational and financial challenges.

Investors can look to subsequent periodic reports after January 28, 2026 for updates on listing compliance, product deployment, and remediation of internal control weaknesses, which will shape how meaningful the Nasdaq listing becomes over time.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of U.S. federal securities laws. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects or strategies regarding its future business plans. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward looking statements. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts, or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. The forward-looking statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K are based on certain assumptions and analyses (whether or not identified herein) made by the management of the Company in light of their respective experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, and expected future developments and their potential effects on the Company as well as other factors they believe are appropriate in the circumstances. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the parties), or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including : the Company’s ability to uplist to the Nasdaq Capital Market, including meeting the initial and continuous listing requirements; the ability of the Company to sell and deploy the QT Imaging Breast Acoustic CT™ Scanner; the ability to extend product offerings into new areas or products; the ability to commercialize technology; unexpected occurrences that deter the full documentation and “bring to market” plan for products; trends and fluctuations in the industry; changes in demand and purchasing volume of customers; unpredictability of suppliers; the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and the ability to move product sales to production levels; changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the uncertainty of projected financial information; delays caused by factors outside of our control; changes in our ability to successfully receive purchase orders and generate revenue under our existing contracts with partners and distributors; our ability to realize the benefits of the strategic partnerships; the identified material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting (including the timeline to remediate the material weakness); the rollout of the business and the timing of expected business milestones; the effects of competition on our future business; our ability to obtain and access financing in the future; our ability to pay our debt obligations as they come due; and those factors discussed in the Company’s reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know or that the Company currently believes are immaterial which could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.
