Bubblr Inc. 8-K

What Happened
Bubblr Inc. announced in an 8-K that on November 11, 2025 it was notified by OTCQB Markets Group that its closing bid price had been below $0.01 for more than 30 consecutive trading days, triggering a deficiency under OTCQB rules. The company received a 90-calendar-day cure period under Section 4.1(B) of the OTCQB Rules but did not achieve the required closing bid of at least $0.01 for 10 consecutive trading days during that period. As a result, effective February 18, 2026, Bubblr’s securities were downgraded from the OTCQB market to the OTCID market (formerly OTC Pink Open Market).

Key Details

• Notification date: November 11, 2025; cure period length: 90 calendar days.
• Cure requirement: closing bid ≥ $0.01 for at least 10 consecutive trading days (per OTCQB Rule 4.1(B)).
• Downgrade effective date: February 18, 2026 — moved from OTCQB to OTCID (entry-level market under Rule 15c2-11).
• Company will continue to file periodic reports and remain subject to reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; management is evaluating options to regain compliance.

Why It Matters
A downgrade from OTCQB to OTCID typically reduces a stock’s visibility and may lower trading liquidity and marketability, which can affect existing and potential investors. Importantly, Bubblr remains a reporting company and continues to file SEC reports, so investors can still access its public disclosures. Management’s stated focus on strategic options to regain compliance is a key development to watch for investors monitoring the company’s path back to a higher-tier market.
