DALLAS, Oct. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beneficient (NASDAQ: BENF) (the “Company”), a technology-enabled platform providing exit opportunities and primary capital solutions and related trust and custody services to holders of alternative assets through its proprietary online platform AltAccess, today announced that, by letter dated October 29, 2025, the Company was notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company had regained compliance with (i) the Nasdaq periodic reporting requirement by filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and (ii) the Nasdaq minimum $35 million market value of listed securities requirement as an alternative to Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement.

The Company remains noncompliant with respect to the $1.00 per share bid price requirement and must regain compliance within the extension period granted by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to avoid delisting. To the extent the Company has not regained compliance with the bid price requirement, the Company plans to seek stockholder approval to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock, which the Company anticipates will allow it to demonstrate compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement for the requisite minimum 10-consecutive trading day period within the extension period granted by the Panel.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the listing and trading of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq and the Company’s intention to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intends,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are based on our management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, them. Because such statements are based on expectations as to future financial and operating results and are not statements of fact, actual results may differ materially from those projected.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements include, among others, our ability to timely demonstrate compliance with the bid price requirement within the extension period granted by the Panel, our ability to cure any deficiencies in compliance with any other Nasdaq Listing Rules, our ability to obtain stockholder approval for a reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock, risks related to the substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources due to these matters and the risks, uncertainties, and factors set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and its subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and the risks and uncertainties contained in the Company’s Current Reports on Form 8-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. The Company assumes no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, subsequent events, or circumstances or other changes affecting such statements except to the extent required by applicable law.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and, except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
