Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On November 5, 2025, PLAYSTUDIOS, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the listing of its Class A common stock was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, as the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock was less than $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days.
The notice has no present impact on the listing of the Company’s securities, and the Company’s Class A common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “MYPS.”
Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until May 4, 2026, to regain compliance. To regain compliance, during this 180-day compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock must close at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
In the event that the Company does not regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules prior to the expiration of the 180-day compliance period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii) by transferring to the Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, the Company must submit a Transfer Application and a $5,000 application fee no later than May 4, 2026, the end of the 180-day compliance period. The Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. As part of its review process, the Nasdaq staff will make a determination of whether it believes the Company will be able to cure this deficiency. Should the Nasdaq staff conclude that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or should the Company determine not to submit a Transfer Application or make the required representation, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s shares of Class A common stock will be subject to delisting.
If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s shares of Class A common stock will be subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. The Company intends to actively monitor its minimum bid price of listed securities and, as appropriate, will consider available options to resolve the deficiencies and regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, including applying to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market or effecting a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in maintaining the listing of its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market, or, if transferred, on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
