BREA, Calif., USA – Reborn Coffee Inc. (Nasdaq: REBN), (“Reborn”, or the “Company”), a California-based retailer of specialty coffee, today announced that it has received a notice of delisting from Nasdaq. On June 21, 2024, Reborn Coffee (the “Company”) received a staff determination letter (the “Letter”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that because it has not yet filed its Form 10-Q for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 (the “Filing”), it has failed to comply with the filing requirement set forth in Listing Rule 5250(c.)(1).

As previously announced on May 15, 2024, the Company was required to dismiss BF Borgers CPA PC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company was required to engage a new independent registered public accounting firm in order to complete and file the Form 10-Q.

On May 14, 2024, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of BCRG Group (“BCRG”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the timing of the appointment of BCRG, the Company was unable without unreasonable effort and expense to complete the review of the Company’s financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 before the required filing date for the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

A Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) had previously placed the Company on a Discretionary Panel Monitor for a period of one year or until May 16, 2025 after the Company regained compliance with previous Nasdaq listing deficiencies, which would require the Staff to issue a Delist Determination Letter in the event that the Company failed to maintain compliance with any continued listing requirement (the “Panel Monitor”).

The Letter explains that ordinarily Nasdaq listed companies may be provided up to 60 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance, and that if the plan is accepted, Staff may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Filing’s due date. However, pursuant to the Panel Monitor, the Company is not eligible for a compliance period.

Therefore, the Company must, and shall, request an appeal of this determination to the Panel, and request a stay of the suspension pending a hearing (with an explanation as to why an extended stay is appropriate) by June 28, 2024, or else trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on July 2, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on the Nasdaq.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(A)(v) and as stated in the Letter, the Company has until June 28, 2024 to request a hearing to appeal the Staff’s determination and the Company intends to request such a hearing.

Pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(b), the Staff requires that the Company issue as promptly as possible, but no later than four days from the receipt of the Letter, a public announcement disclosing the receipt of the Letter. In the event the Company does not make the required public announcement, trading in its securities will be halted. By issuing this press release, the Company believes it complies with Listing Rule 5810(b).
