Item
3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On
January 28, 2026, Twin Hospitality Group Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Delisting Notice”)
from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Staff
had determined that the Company’s Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) will be delisted from Nasdaq pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1. Pursuant to the Delisting Notice, Nasdaq’s determination was based on (i)
the Company’s commencement of voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on January 26, 2026 (the
“Chapter 11 Cases”) and associated public interest concerns raised by it, (ii) concerns regarding the residual equity
interest of the existing listed securities holders, and (iii) concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all
requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. The Delisting Notice indicates that the trading of the Common Stock (Nasdaq: TWNP) will
be suspended at the opening of business on February 4, 2026, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Common Stock and Exchange Commission,
which will remove the Common Stock from listing on Nasdaq. The Company does not intend to appeal the Staff’s determination.
After
delisting from the Nasdaq, the Common Stock is expected to commence trading on the Pink Limited Market operated by the OTC Markets
Group, Inc. (commonly referred to as the “pink sheets”). The Pink Limited Market is a significantly more limited market
than Nasdaq, and will likely result in a less liquid market for existing and potential holders to trade the Common Stock and could further
depress the trading price of the Common Stock. The Company can provide no assurance that the Common Stock will continue to trade on this
market or whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Common Stock on this market.
Cautionary
Note Regarding the Company’s Securities
The
Company cautions that trading in the Common Stock during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial
risks. Trading prices for the Common Stock may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders of the Common
Stock in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects that holders of the Common Stock could experience a complete or significant loss on
their investment, depending on the outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases.
