Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 31, 2026, AEON Biopharma, Inc. (the “Company” or “AEON”) received an additional written notice of non-compliance (the “Notice”) from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). Section 1003(a)(ii) requires stockholders’ equity of $4.0 million or more if a listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Notice states that the Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $55 million as of December 31, 2025 and has incurred losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years, as reflected in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 30, 2026.
As disclosed on a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 7, 2025, the Company received a prior notice from NYSE American that it was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide (the “Original Notice”), which requires stockholders’ equity of $2.0 million or more if a listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. Pursuant to the Original Notice, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance with the continued listing standards of the Company Guide by August 3, 2026 (the “Plan”). In April 2025, the Plan was accepted by NYSE American and granted the Company until August 3, 2026 (the “Plan Period”) to regain compliance. The Company has been subject to periodic reviews by NYSE American and has been making progress consistent with the Plan.
The Notice is related to the Company’s previously disclosed compliance status following its year-end results and does not have immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on NYSE American or the Plan Period. The Company’s Class A Common Stock will continue to be listed and traded on NYSE American during the Plan Period, subject to compliance with other applicable listing standards, and will continue to trade with a “.BC” indicator to denote that the Company is below compliance. The Company will also continue to be included in the NYSE American list of noncompliant issuers.
The Company intends to continue to execute the Plan to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) and 1003(a)(ii) by August 3, 2026. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance within the required timeframe. The Company has a right to appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.
The Company’s receipt of the Notice does not affect its business operations or its reporting obligations with the SEC.
The Company has issued a press release pursuant to Sections 402(g) and 1009(j) of the Company Guide disclosing receipt of the Notice, which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Exhibit 99.1
PRESS RELEASE
AEON Biopharma Receives Additional Notice Related to NYSE American Continued Listing Standards
IRVINE, Calif., April 3, 2026 – AEON Biopharma, Inc. (“AEON” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: AEON), a biopharmaceutical company advancing ABP-450 (prabotulinumtoxinA) as a biosimilar to BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) to achieve full-label U.S. market entry, today announced that on March 31, 2026, it received a notice (the “Notice”) from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) indicating that, following its year-end financial results, the Company is not in compliance with an additional continued listing standard set forth in the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”).
As previously disclosed, on February 3, 2025, the Company received a notice (the “Original Notice”) that it was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide, which requires stockholders’ equity of at least $2.0 million if a listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. On April 22, 2025, NYSE American accepted the Company’s plan (the “Plan”) to regain compliance and granted the Company until August 3, 2026 (the “Plan Period”) to do so.
The current Notice indicates that the Company is now also not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide, which requires stockholders’ equity of at least $4.0 million if a listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. This determination is based on the Company’s reported stockholders’ deficit of approximately $55 million as of December 31, 2025, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2026.
This Notice reflects an expected progression of the Company’s previously disclosed compliance status following its 2025 year-end results and does not have an immediate impact on the Company’s current listing, Plan Period, or Plan to regain compliance. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on NYSE American under the symbol “AEON,” subject to the Company’s compliance with other listing standards. The Company’s ticker will continue to carry a “.BC” indicator to denote that it is below compliance, and the Company will remain listed on NYSE American’s noncompliant issuers list.
The Company remains subject to the terms of the Original Notice and continues to execute against the NYSE American approved Plan to regain compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards within the Plan Period. If the Company does not regain compliance by August 3, 2026, or does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan Period, NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings. The Company has a right to appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.
The Notice does not affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting obligations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Forward-Looking Statements
The foregoing material may contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, each as amended. Forward-looking statements include all statements that do not relate solely to historical or current facts, including without limitation statements regarding the Company’s product development and business prospects, and can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “project,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “believe,” “potential,” “should,” “continue” or the negative versions of those words or other comparable words.
