Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

This Current Report Form 8-K is being filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(D) of the Securities Exchange act of 1934, to report events that have occurred within the period specified. In this case, events that occurred on April 7, 2025. 

 

On April 7, 2025, Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (the “Company”), NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) publicly announced and provided a notice to the Company that NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) and publicly trading Warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock (the “Warrants,” together with the Common Stock, the “Securities”), from NYSE American. NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1009(a) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) as the Company was unable to demonstrate that it had regained compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) of the Company Guide by the end of the maximum 18-month compliance plan period, which expired on April 6, 2025.

 

The Company has a right to a review of the NYSE Regulation determination to delist the Securities by the Listings Qualifications Panel of the Committee for Review of the Board of Directors of the Exchange (the “Panel”). The Company’s request for such a review must be made by April 14, 2025. The Company intends to appeal such determination. The Company expects the Securities to continue to trade on NYSE American during the appeal process.

 

Following such appeal, a decision by the Panel will be made and announced by NYSE American regarding either proceeding with suspension and delisting or continued trading in the Securities. The filing of an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist the Securities is pending completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation’s decision.

On April 7, 2025, the Company issued a press release relating to the matters described in Item 3.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
