On October 9, 2025, TON Strategy Company (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff at the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Staff has determined that the Company failed to comply with Nasdaq’s shareholder approval requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b) (the “Rule”) in connection with the Company’s August 7, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), issuance of shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) (and pre-funded warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock) pursuant to that certain subscription agreement, dated August 3, 2025, among the Company, certain subsidiaries of the Company and certain investors (the “PIPE Financing”).
The Letter recites that, on the Closing Date, significant changes in the composition of the Company’s senior management and Board of Directors occurred, including the appointment of a new Executive Chairman, the Company entered into a long-term advisory agreement with an entity controlled by the Executive Chairman, and the Executive Chairman, through Kingsway Capital Limited partners and its affiliates, acquired common stock representing approximately 19.99% ownership and voting power of the outstanding Common Stock.
The Letter states that the Company was required to obtain shareholder approval under the Rule prior to the issuance of shares in the PIPE Financing, which the Letter states resulted in a change of control of the Company, but that the Company failed to do so. Based upon the advice of outside advisors for the PIPE Financing, the Company believed when consummating the PIPE Transaction that it complied with the Rule.
The Letter has no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. The Company is currently exploring its options to respond to Nasdaq and intends to work closely and expeditiously with Nasdaq in an effort to resolve this matter. The Company intends to submit, within the requisite period, a plan to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of 180 calendar days from the date of the Letter to evidence compliance. There can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable listing requirements.
