Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or
Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On April 9, 2024, Better Home & Finance Holding Company (the “Company”) received formal notice that the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) granted the Company’s request for an additional 180-day period, or until October 7, 2024, (the “Extension Notice”) to evidence compliance with the $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). If at any time before October 7, 2024, the bid price of the
Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company with written confirmation of compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
As previously disclosed, on October 12, 2023, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it was no longer in compliance with the Bid Price Rule. In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company
was provided 180 calendar days, or until April 9, 2024, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. In response, the Company filed an application to transfer the listing of its Class A Common Stock from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. On March 7, 2024, the Company received approval from Nasdaq to transfer the listing of its Class A Common Stock, which transfer became effective on March 13, 2024. On March 11, 2024, the Company applied for an extension of the compliance period for an additional
180 days. The Company subsequently provided notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the extended compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule during the additional compliance period, then Nasdaq will notify the Company of its determination to delist the Class A Common Stock, at which point the Company would have an opportunity to appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). A timely request for a hearing will stay
any suspension or delisting action pending the issuance of the Panel’s decision.
The Extension Notice has no effect at this time on the listing of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “BETR.”The Company intends to continue to actively monitor the listing of its Class A Common Stock and, as appropriate, will consider available options to resolve any deficiencies and regain compliance, including seeking stockholder approval at its annual meeting of stockholders to declare and effect one or more reverse stock splits. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing obligations. Failure to maintain other Nasdaq listing requirements could result in the delisting of the Class A Common Stock from Nasdaq.
