Getty Images Holdings Delisted from NYSE; Annual Meeting Postponed

What Happened

• Getty Images Holdings, Inc. announced on its Oct 1, 2026 8‑K that the NYSE notified the company on Sept 29, 2026 it will commence proceedings to delist the company’s Class A common stock for “abnormally low selling price” (Section 802.01D).
• The company does not intend to appeal and expects delisting. Trading in the Class A shares was suspended on the NYSE and the stock began trading on the OTC Pink Limited Market on Sept 30, 2026 under the symbol “GETY.”
• The Board postponed the company’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which had been scheduled for Oct 8, 2026, while the company continues to evaluate strategic financing alternatives and engage with key debt and equity holders.

Key Details

• NYSE notice date: Sept 29, 2026; OTC Pink trading began: Sept 30, 2026 (symbol: GETY).
• Company decision: will not appeal the NYSE determination and expects delisting once NYSE completes procedures and applies to the SEC.
• Corporate actions: 2026 Annual Meeting postponed from Oct 8, 2026 while financing and balance-sheet options are evaluated.
• Forward-looking disclosure: filing includes standard cautionary statements and lists risks (referencing the company’s 2025 Form 10‑K) related to financing, liquidity, listing status, and other operational uncertainties.

Why It Matters

• Delisting and the move to OTC Pink can materially affect liquidity and visibility for retail investors: the company itself warns it cannot assure continued trading, broker‑dealer quotes, or sufficient trading volume on the OTC market.
• Postponing the annual meeting signals the board is prioritizing financing and balance‑sheet decisions now; investors should watch for further filings about financing plans, creditor/equityholder negotiations, and any material developments on listing status.
