Barfresh Food Group Warned by Nasdaq on MVLS; CFO to Retire

What Happened

• Barfresh Food Group Inc. (BRFH) announced it received a Nasdaq notification on August 3, 2026 that its market value of listed securities (MVLS) closed below the $35,000,000 threshold for 30 consecutive business days, triggering noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). Trading of the company’s common stock continues for now.
• Separately, on August 4, 2026 the company disclosed that its Chief Financial Officer, Lisa Roger, informed the company she will retire no later than December 31, 2026; the company and Ms. Roger are coordinating the transition.

Key Details

• Nasdaq notice date: August 3, 2026; MVLS threshold: $35,000,000.
• MVLS Compliance Period: company has until February 1, 2027 to regain compliance (must close at $35M+ for at least 10 consecutive business days).
• Nasdaq noted the company also does not meet alternative continued‑listing standards for minimum stockholders’ equity or net income (Rules 5550(b)(1) and 5550(b)(3)).
• CFO retirement notice date: August 4, 2026; effective no later than December 31, 2026.

Why It Matters

• For investors, the Nasdaq notice signals a potential delisting risk if Barfresh does not restore its MVLS or qualify under alternate listing standards by February 1, 2027. If delisting is recommended later, the company can appeal to a Nasdaq hearings panel, but there is no guarantee of success.
• The company’s common stock remains listed and tradable while it seeks to regain compliance. The 8‑K says Barfresh will monitor MVLS and may pursue available options to regain compliance; the filing does not affect SEC reporting or current operations.
• The CFO departure is material for corporate leadership and financial oversight during this compliance period; investors should watch for the company’s transition plan and any subsequent updates on regaining Nasdaq compliance.
