Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to
Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On June 9, 2026, Functional
Brands Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notification (the “Staff Determination”) from the Listing Qualifications
Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that Nasdaq had determined to delist the Company’s common
stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Staff Determination was issued pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the “Low
Priced Stocks Rule”).
As previously disclosed, on
December 30, 2025, the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been below
$1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and that the Company was therefore not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2),
which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”).
At that time, the Company was afforded 180 calendar days, or until June 29, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.
The Staff Determination states
that, as of June 8, 2026, the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days.
Under the Low Priced Stocks Rule, if during any compliance period a company’s security has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less
for ten consecutive trading days, the Listing Qualifications Department is required to issue a Staff Delisting Determination. As a result,
Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company’s common stock and stated that trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended
at the opening of business on June 16, 2026, and that a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove
the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Company may request a
hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff Determination, pursuant to the procedures set forth
in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. A hearing request must be submitted, along with a non-refundable fee of $20,000, no later than
4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 16, 2026.
There can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in any appeal or that it will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq's
listing requirements within the timeframe that may be provided by the Panel, or at all. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B)(ii)(e),
a timely request for a hearing will not stay the trading suspension of the Company’s common stock.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On June 15, 2026, the Company
issued a press release announcing the foregoing. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated
by reference herein.
The information in this Item
7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed”
for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section,
nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly
set forth by specific reference in any such filing.

today that on June 9, 2026, it received a written notification (the “Staff Determination”) from the Listing Qualifications
Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company’s common
stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously disclosed, on December 30, 2025,
the Company received notice from Nasdaq that the closing bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive
business days, and was therefore not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires a minimum bid price of $1.00 per
share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”). The Company was afforded 180 calendar
days, or until June 29, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement.
The Staff Determination was issued pursuant to
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii) (the “Low Priced Stocks Rule”). Under the Low Priced Stocks Rule, if during any compliance
period a company’s security has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, the Listing Qualifications
Department is required to issue a Staff Delisting Determination. As of June 8, 2026, the Company’s common stock had a closing bid
price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days.
As a result of the Staff Determination, trading
of the Company’s common stock will be suspended at the opening of business on June 16, 2026, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration
on The Nasdaq Stock Market.
The Company may request a hearing before the Nasdaq
Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the Staff Determination, pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5800 Series. A hearing request must be submitted, along with a non-refundable fee of $20,000, no later than 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time
on June 16, 2026. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a)(1)(B)(ii)(e), a timely request for a hearing will not stay the trading suspension
of the Company’s common stock.
