NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 14, 2026 / The OLB Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:OLB) ("OLB" or the "Company"), a leading provider of integrated payment, commerce and fintech solutions doing business as SecurePay, today announced that it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") granting the Company an additional 180-calendar-day period, through January 25, 2027, to regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price per share requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules

The Nasdaq letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock, which continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "OLB."

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and to consider all available options to regain compliance, including implementing a reverse stock split. Any reverse stock split must be completed no later than ten business days prior to January 25, 2027 in order to timely regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or otherwise maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. If compliance is not demonstrated by January 25, 2027, Nasdaq Staff will provide written notification that the Company's securities will be delisted, at which time the Company may request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel; however, a timely request for a hearing following the second 180-day compliance period would not stay the suspension of the Company's securities from trading.
