Netcapital Inc. Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Notification Regarding Delayed Annual Report on Form 10-K

BOSTON, Massachusetts, Aug. 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Netcapital Inc. (Nasdaq: NCPL) (the “Company”) today announced that on August 24, 2026 it received a delinquency notification letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the Company has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2026 (the “Form 10-K”), the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock or warrants on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from receipt of the Notice, or until October 23, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10-K’s due date, or until February 9, 2027, for the Company to regain compliance.

The Company intends to submit a plan to regain compliance within the period required by Nasdaq and to file the Form 10-K as promptly as practicable. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), or that the Company will be able to maintain compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.

This press release is issued pursuant to, and is intended to satisfy, the public announcement requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(b).
