Nicholas Financial, Inc. Receives Nasdaq Notification of Noncompliance with Listing Rule 5250( c )(1)

August 27, 2024 – Clearwater, Florida - Nicholas Financial, Inc. (NASDAQ: NICK) (the "Company") announced today that on August 21, 2024, the Company received a letter (the “Non-Compliance Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Nasdaq Listing Rule”) as a result of its failure to have timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the “June 2024 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The Non-Compliance Letter provides that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company now has 60 calendar days, or until October 21, 2024 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance in accordance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. If the Company’s plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 days, or until February 18, 2025, for the Company to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). The Non-Compliance Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The delayed filing of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2024 was a result of additional time being required to compile and review information and disclosures in connection with the completion of its acquisition of a majority interest in Amplex Electric, Inc, (“Amplex”) which was completed on June 15, 2024.

The Company diligently worked to review and finalize the June 2024 10-Q and successfully filed on August 26, 2024 well within the 60 calendar days referenced above.. On August [DATE], 2024, Nasdaq informed the Company that it is now in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c).
