7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On
September 1, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the decision of the Nasdaq Panel (as defined below). A copy of
the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated by reference herein.
The
information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto are furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” with
the SEC for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information
be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific
reference in such filing.
Item
8.01. Other Events.
On
August 26, 2026, Snail, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written decision from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”)
of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) granting the Company’s request to continue the listing of the
Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) on The Nasdaq
Capital Market, subject to the Company’s satisfaction of the following condition: the Company must demonstrate compliance with
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) by obtaining a minimum stockholders’ equity of at least
$2,500,000 (the “Equity Rule”), by filing timely public disclosure (i) describing the transactions undertaken by the
Company to achieve such compliance and demonstrate long long-term compliance with the Equity Rule and (ii) providing an indication
of its equity following those transactions.
As
previously disclosed, on July 1, 2026, the Company received written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Nasdaq
Staff”) notifying the Company of its determination to delist the Class A Common Stock from
The Nasdaq Capital Market as a result of the Company’s continued noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which
requires listed securities to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).
Nasdaq Staff had also previously notified the Company that it did not comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b), including the Equity Rule.
On July 21, 2026, the Nasdaq Staff confirmed that the Company had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement following
a reverse stock split effected on July 2, 2026. On August 13, 2026, the Panel held a hearing at which the Company presented
its plan to regain compliance with the Equity Rule.
The
Panel’s decision also requires the Company to provide prompt notification of any significant events occurring during the exception
period that may affect the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq requirements, including any event that may call into question the Company’s
ability to meet the terms of the exception granted. The Panel has reserved the right to reconsider the terms of the exception based on
any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of the Company’s
securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. The foregoing summarizes certain terms of the Panel’s decision and does not describe
all of the terms and conditions of the decision.
The
Company’s Class A Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital
Market under the symbol “SNAL” during the exception period, subject to the Company’s satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in the Panel’s decision. The Company is working regain compliance with the Equity Rule. Any compliance submission by
the Company will be subject to review by the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy the conditions of the Panel’s
decision or otherwise regain compliance with the applicable listing requirements, and a failure to do so would result in the delisting
of the Company’s securities from Nasdaq.
