Reborn Coffee faces Nasdaq warning over late 10-Q
Reborn Coffee has received a Nasdaq deficiency notice for a late Form 10-Q, creating a defined window to regain listing compliance but with stated uncertainty.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Reborn Coffee, Inc.

On August 27, 2026, Reborn Coffee, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq Listing Qualifications (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as it has not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2026 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company no longer complies with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Nasdaq Listing Rule”) for continued listing on Nasdaq.
