Reborn Coffee, Inc. 8-K

What Happened

• Reborn Coffee, Inc. (REBN) announced on its Form 8-K (filed Feb 23, 2026) that it received a notification letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff on February 19, 2026. Nasdaq stated the Company is not currently in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 regarding independent directors, an audit committee, and a compensation committee. The letter does not have any immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock.

Key Details

• Nasdaq identified noncompliance with Rule 5605 (independent director, audit committee, and compensation committee requirements).
• Cure period granted: until the earlier of the Company’s next annual stockholders’ meeting or February 13, 2027.
• Alternative deadline: if the next annual meeting is held before August 12, 2026, the Company must evidence compliance no later than August 12, 2026.
• If compliance is not shown within the prescribed period, Nasdaq may notify the Company that its securities are subject to delisting; the Company may appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel under Rule 5815(a).
• The filing also references the appointment of Charles C. Jeong and Mi Jeong Lee (as described in the Company’s filings).

Why It Matters

• For investors, the notice signals a governance shortfall that Nasdaq requires the Company to cure within set deadlines. While trading continues unchanged for now, failure to regain compliance could lead to delisting proceedings, which can materially affect liquidity and shareholder value. The cure period gives the Company time to address the issues or to seek an appeal.
