Rhea-AI Filing Summary
SES AI Corporation received a notice from the New York Stock Exchange on July 17, 2026 that its Class A common stock is not in compliance with Section 802.01C, because the average closing price was less than $1.00 per share over 30 consecutive trading days.
The company will respond within 10 business days stating its intent to cure the deficiency. SES AI has a six-month cure period, during which compliance can be regained if, on the last trading day of any calendar month, the closing price and the 30‑day average closing price are each at least $1.00. The company may also consider actions requiring stockholder approval, such as a reverse stock split. Its Class A common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE during the cure period, subject to satisfying other listing standards.
Positive
- None.
Negative
- NYSE minimum price noncompliance: SES AI’s Class A common stock failed the NYSE’s $1.00 average closing price requirement over 30 consecutive trading days, triggering a continued listing standard notice and a potential risk of future delisting if compliance is not restored.

Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On July 17, 2026, SES AI Corporation (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that it is not in compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Company’s Class A common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Class A common stock from the NYSE.
The Company intends to notify the NYSE of its intent to regain compliance with the NYSE continued listing standard. The Company can regain compliance at any time within the six-month period following receipt of the NYSE notice if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the Company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. The Company intends to consider available alternatives, if necessary, to cure the stock price non-compliance. Under the NYSE’s rules, if the Company determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action that will require stockholder approval by its next annual meeting of stockholders (such as a reverse stock split), the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 trading days.
The Company’s Class A common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
Item 7.01Regulation FD Disclosure.
As required by NYSE rules, the Company issued a press release on July 20, 2026 announcing receipt of the above-mentioned notice, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 hereto.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 and in the accompanying Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, unless expressly incorporated by specific reference in such filing.
