GRAPEVINE, Texas, May 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Solo Brands, Inc. (NYSE: DTC; OTC: DTCB) (“Solo Brands” or “the Company”) a leading portfolio of lifestyle brands (Solo Stove, Chubbies, Isle and Oru) that are redefining the outdoor and apparel industries, today announced that it has formally appealed the determination of the staff of NYSE Regulation to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Class A common stock from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).

As previously announced, on April 22, 2025, the staff of NYSE Regulation determined that the Company’s Class A common stock was no longer suitable for listing based on “abnormally low” price levels pursuant to Section 802.01D of the Listed Company Manual and immediately halted trading of the Company’s Class A common stock. As a result, the Class A common stock is currently being quoted on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol “DTCB”.

The Company is appealing the determination of the staff of the NYSE Regulation and, if the Company is successful in its appeal, NYSE may resume trading of the Class A common stock. During the appeal period, the Class A common stock will remain listed on the NYSE, though trading on the NYSE will continue to be suspended.

“We believe that the current trading price and market capitalization of Solo Brands does not reflect the value of the Company, and as a result, we have decided to appeal the decision of the staff of NYSE Regulation. While there can be no assurance regarding the outcome of the appeal, we remain committed to our efforts to restore compliance with NYSE listing standards as we execute our action plans, which include a reverse stock split,” said John Larson, Solo Brands Interim President and Chief Executive Officer.

During the appeal period, the Company intends to continue to operate in compliance with public company SEC regulations and other NYSE listing requirements.
