Datavault AI Inc. 8-K

What Happened Datavault AI Inc. announced that on February 24, 2026 it received a Nasdaq notice stating its common stock has traded below the $1.00 minimum bid price for 30 consecutive business days, violating Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Nasdaq has given the company an initial 180‑calendar‑day compliance period — through August 24, 2026 — during which the shares will remain listed and traded. To regain compliance the closing bid must meet or exceed $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days within that period.

Key Details

• Notice date: February 24, 2026; initial compliance deadline: August 24, 2026 (180 days).
• Deficiency trigger: closing bid < $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)).
• Cure requirement: closing bid ≥ $1.00 for 10 consecutive business days during the 180‑day period.
• If still non‑compliant by Aug 24, 2026, Nasdaq may allow a second 180‑day period if company meets other listing standards and files a written plan (which could include a reverse stock split).

Why It Matters This notice signals a tangible risk to listing status: failure to regain the $1.00 minimum could lead to further delisting proceedings or require a reverse stock split to restore compliance. Delisting or the threat of delisting can reduce liquidity, limit access to institutional investors, and put downward pressure on the share price. Datavault says it will monitor the bid price and consider options to regain compliance, but there is no assurance it will succeed. Investors should watch the stock’s trading price and company updates through the compliance period.
