Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on September 10, 2025, GameSquare Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the then-preceding 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided with an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until March 9, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
On March 10, 2026, the Company received a second notice (the “Second Notice”) from Nasdaq indicating that, while the Company has not yet regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Staff has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until September 7, 2026 (the “Second Compliance Period”), to regain compliance. According to the Second Notice, the Staff’s determination was based on (i) the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and (ii) the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the Second Compliance Period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
If at any time during the Second Compliance Period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance. The Staff may, in its discretion, require the Company to maintain a bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that the Company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than 10 business days prior to the expiration of the Second Compliance Period. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by September 7, 2026, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance or otherwise maintain compliance with any of the other listing requirements.
The Company intends to continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 11, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Second Notice from Nasdaq that the Company has been granted an additional 180-day compliance period to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
