Smyrna, Delaware, Aug. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AiRWA Inc. (NASDAQ: YYAI) (the "Company") today announced that it received an expected deficiency notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on August 24, 2026 (the "Notice"). The Notice indicated that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Listing Rule") as a result of its failure to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2026 (the "Form 10-K"), as described more fully in the Company’s Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing (the "Form 12b-25") filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on July 30, 2026. The Listing Rule requires Nasdaq-listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports with the SEC.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq’s listing rules, the Company has 60 calendar days after the Notice, or until October 23, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. Pursuant to the Notice, following receipt of such plan, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10-K’s due date, or until January 25, 2027, for the Company to regain compliance. The Company expects and intends to file the Form 10-K before the October 23, 2026, deadline for submission of the plan.

As previously disclosed, the filing of the Form 10-K was delayed due to the matters described in the Form 12b-25. Following a significant acquisition, it has proved more time-consuming than anticipated to consolidate the financial results of the acquired business with our own.

The Company continues to work diligently to complete its 2026 10-K and, once it is filed with the SEC, the Company anticipates regaining and maintaining compliance with its SEC reporting obligations and Nasdaq listing requirements.
