Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company Regains Nasdaq Listing Compliance

CANTON, Ohio – Jan. 11, 2023 – Hall of Fame Resort & Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: HOFV, HOFVW) (the “Company”), the only resort, entertainment, and media company centered around the power of professional football, announces today that it has received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price listing requirement. The Company has satisfied the requirements for continued listing by complying with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Accordingly, Nasdaq has advised that the matter is now closed.

“What we have been experiencing as a Company is no different than the rest of the world as it relates to the macro-economic environment. The global pandemic, supply chain issues, international conflicts and wars, are all factors that placed outside pressure on our stock price, much like they have on the rest of the stock market. The decision we made to complete our reverse stock split was made with our shareholders and the continued growth of our Company in mind”, shared HOFV President and CEO Michael Crawford. “We believe that decisive action and regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing rules aids in our ability to achieve several important corporate objectives, including the ability to amplify visibility of HOFV within the investment community as well as broaden our shareholder base to include investment firms that impose minimum price requirements in their funds.” Crawford went on to say, “Our unwavering commitment to our shareholders is to build a world-class sports and entertainment Company, and we continue to make strategic progress, building momentum across each of our business verticals, generating shareholder value and growth for the long-term.”
