RCI HOSPITALITY HOLDINGS, INC. 8-K

What Happened
RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. (RICK) announced via Form 8-K (filed May 11, 2026) that Nasdaq’s Listing Qualifications Department has determined the company is back in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq had previously notified RCI on January 30 and February 18, 2026 that it did not meet the periodic filing requirement. After RCI filed its Form 10‑Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2025 on May 7, 2026, Nasdaq notified the company on May 8, 2026 that the matter is closed.

Key Details

• Nasdaq notifications of noncompliance were issued on January 30, 2026 and February 18, 2026 under Listing Rule 5250(c)(1).
• RCI filed its Form 10‑Q for the quarter ended Dec. 31, 2025 on May 7, 2026.
• Nasdaq notified RCI on May 8, 2026 that it had regained compliance and the matter is closed.
• The Form 8‑K reporting this update was filed May 11, 2026 and signed by Interim President & CEO Travis Reese.

Why It Matters
Regaining compliance means RCI is current on its required periodic SEC filings, removing a Nasdaq listing qualification issue and reducing the short-term regulatory uncertainty that can concern investors. This filing does not provide earnings or operational results itself—investors should review the May 7, 2026 Form 10‑Q for the company’s quarterly financial details.
