Barfresh Discloses Two Concurrent Nasdaq Listing Deficiencies

According to the Form 8-K filed November 6, 2026, Barfresh Food Group Inc. received a written notice from Nasdaq on November 5, 2026, stating that its common stock had failed to maintain the minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the company was granted an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, running through May 4, 2027, to cure the deficiency.

To regain compliance with the bid price rule, the filing states that the closing bid price must reach at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time before May 4, 2027. The filing notes that Nasdaq may, under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H), extend that requirement to a maximum of 20 consecutive business days at its discretion. The company disclosed that it "intends to actively monitor the closing bid price" and evaluate all available options. If the company remains out of compliance after May 4, 2027, it may be eligible for a second compliance period, subject to meeting other Nasdaq initial listing standards and providing written notice of intent to cure.

Separately, the filing disclosed a concurrent deficiency related to market value of listed securities. The company has until February 1, 2027, to demonstrate that its MVLS closes at $35,000,000 or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. As an alternative, the filing states the company may request that Nasdaq evaluate compliance under one of the Alternative Standards, though it notes that "substitution remains at Nasdaq's discretion." The filing includes a cautionary statement that "there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), or maintain compliance with any other listing requirements."
