Expion360 Inc.

We may become, from time to time, involved in routine litigation or subject to disputes or claims related to our business activities. We are not currently party to any pending legal proceedings that we believe would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows, or results of operations.

On January 29, 2026, we received a determination from the Staff that the bid price of the common stock had closed below the $1.00 minimum required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for the prior 30 consecutive business days (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and that the Staff had determined to delist our securities from The Nasdaq Capital Market subject to a compliance period. Nasdaq provided us with a 180-calendar day compliance period, or until July 28, 2026, to regain compliance with the listing rule. We are currently evaluating options to regain compliance and intend to timely regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Under Nasdaq rules, we are currently eligible to conduct a reverse stock split of our common stock to regain compliance if necessary.
