Fold Holdings, Inc.

There are numerous factors that affect our business and operating results, many of which are beyond our control. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our common stock may be delisted from The Nasdaq Capital Market if we are unable to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement.

On July 14, 2026, we received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we are not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share. The notice was based on the closing bid price of our common stock for the 30 consecutive business days from May 28, 2026 through July 13, 2026. The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of our common stock, which continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "FLD."

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we have been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until January 11, 2027, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of our common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the compliance period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend that period. If we choose to implement a reverse stock split to regain compliance, we must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration of the compliance period.

There can be no assurance that we will regain compliance within the initial compliance period, that we will be eligible for an additional compliance period, or that Nasdaq will grant us additional time to regain compliance. If we are unable to regain compliance, or otherwise fail to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards, Nasdaq may determine to delist our common stock. Any such delisting would constitute an Event of Default under our February 2026 Investor Note and could materially adversely affect the liquidity and market price of our common stock, impair our ability to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, reduce investor confidence, decrease analyst coverage, and have other adverse effects on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and consider available options to regain compliance, which may include seeking stockholder approval to effect a reverse stock split. There can be no assurance that any action taken by us would be successful or would result in a sustained increase in the market price of our common stock. Even if we regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, there can be no assurance that the market price of our common stock will not again fall below $1.00 per share, which could result in our receipt of one or more additional deficiency notices and ultimately in the delisting of our common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.
