• Regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), allowing the common stock to remain listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
• Filed exhibits: press release June 30, 2025 and an investor presentation (Exhibit 99.2); a conference call is planned.

Insights

Corporate Governance Expert

Regaining Nasdaq compliance ends immediate delisting threat; prior deficiency required formal remediation and a cancelled hearing.

The filing documents that Nasdaq had flagged a minimum-bid deficiency due to the bid price closing below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days, and that the Company subsequently closed above $1.00 for the requisite period, prompting Nasdaq to notify the registrant that it is back in compliance and cancelling the scheduled appeal hearing. For governance stakeholders, this sequence confirms the company met the technical listing standard and resolved the matter administratively; the 8-K also furnishes the press release and presentation rather than incorporating them by reference.

Financial Analyst

Compliance restoration is positive; the company filed a press release and presentation on quarterly results, but no financial figures are included in this 8-K text.

The 8-K states the Company issued a press release announcing results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 and furnished an accompanying presentation and conference call. The report does not include revenue, earnings, balance sheet, or cash flow figures, so material financial conclusions cannot be drawn from this filing alone. The Nasdaq compliance notice reduces immediate market-structure risk related to listing status, which is generally favorable for liquidity and investor access.

Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On August 13, 2025, Expion360 Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”).

The Company plans to hold a conference call regarding its financial results. The conference call will be accompanied by the presentation deck (the “Presentation”) furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report. A copy of the Presentation is also available on the Company’s investor relations website located at investors.expion360.com. The information included on the Company’s website is not incorporated by reference into this Current Report or into any other Company filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission unless otherwise expressly indicated.

The information provided in Item 2.02 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, 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. Such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as otherwise expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

The Company confirms it has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and that its common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), continues to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

As previously disclosed, the Company received a staff determination from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the bid price of its Common Stock had closed below the $1.00 minimum required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for the prior 30 consecutive trading days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Company timely requested and was granted an appeal hearing by filing a hearing request with Nasdaq.

As of August 12, 2025, the Common Stock had closed above $1.00 per share for more than ten consecutive trading days. As a result, on August 13, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Nasdaq Office of General Counsel advising that the Company had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and that the Company was therefore in compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. Consequently, the appeal hearing scheduled for August 19, 2025 was cancelled.
