Southland’s common stock and warrants remain listed while it prepares a plan due October 23, 2026.
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Southland Holdings, Inc. received notice from NYSE Regulation that it does not meet NYSE American’s continued listing standards for stockholders’ equity. Southland reported a $248.2 million stockholders’ deficit at June 30, 2026 and net losses in its last three fiscal years; it is not eligible for an exemption. The standards set equity thresholds of $2.0 million for companies with losses in two of their three most recent fiscal years and $4.0 million for companies with losses in three of their four most recent fiscal years.
