RCI HOSPITALITY HOLDINGS, INC. 8-K

What Happened
RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. announced on its Form 8‑K (filed Feb 2, 2026) that on January 30, 2026 it received a notice from Nasdaq saying it is not in compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the company has not filed its Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. The company says it intends to file the Form 10‑K as soon as practicable and will submit a compliance plan to Nasdaq by March 31, 2026 if it cannot file by then.

Key Details

• Item reported: 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard (Nasdaq non‑compliance).
• Nasdaq deadline: Company has until March 31, 2026 to submit a plan; Nasdaq may grant up to a 180‑day exception (until June 29, 2026) if a plan is accepted.
• The Nasdaq notice does not have any immediate effect on the listing of RCI’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.
• Form 8‑K was signed by Interim President & CEO Travis Reese and filed Feb 2, 2026.

Why It Matters
For investors, this is a compliance risk signal: failure to file the Form 10‑K could lead to delisting proceedings if Nasdaq does not accept a remediation plan or the company fails to cure the deficiency. Trading is currently unaffected, but investors should watch for (1) the company’s filing of the Form 10‑K, (2) submission and acceptance of a Nasdaq compliance plan by March 31, 2026, and (3) any further Nasdaq actions or appeals.
