Business Overview
Brag House is a mission-driven organization that utilizes a diversified business strategy to operate a vertically integrated platform designed for casual college gamers to drive community-driven gaming experiences anchored in the college sports culture, while creating authentic pathway for brands to connect with our Gen Z audience.
Brag House is a Delaware corporation formed in December 2021. Our founders developed the idea for the Brag House platform in 2018, when our Chief Executive Officer Lavell Juan Malloy, II and his co-founder, Chief Operating Officer Daniel Leibovich, recognized a need in the gaming industry for an esports platform focused specifically on the casual college gamer, and formed our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, BHI. At that time, our co-founders believed that a significant amount of industry resources were focused predominantly on competitive and professional gamers, much to the detriment of casual gamers, generally, and casual college gamers, specifically. In the years ensuing, we have maintained our focus on the casual college gaming segment and believe we are developing a first-of-its-kind digital platform for casual college gamers to compete, support their team, banter in a safe environment and win prizes. Our vertically integrated approach combines gamer recruitment, facilitation of community engagement and content creation, live-stream production and tournament host activities.
We believe we are creating a new sports medium for Gen Z to engage through gaming by merging gameplay with school spirit in Brag House and student-led activations and tournaments tied to college rivalries with Brag House features and capabilities such as our Bragging Functionality, Loyalty Tokens reward system, and brand-sponsored content and prizes. The growth of our platform since our inception is encouraging, and we believe we are strongly positioned to capitalize on a large portion of the available gaming market. We experienced strong community growth since we launched through March 31, 2025, reaching nearly 1,400,000 video views of our Brag House content on video platforms including X (formerly known as Twitter), TikTok, Meta, Twitch and YouTube, which represent a 148% increase in views year-over-year from 2020 to 2024. We have also generated nearly 8 million impressions and video views since inception, which represents approximately a 57% increase year-over-year from 2020 to 2024. Additionally, since 2022, Brag House spectators who viewed live streams remained on the platform for 19 minutes per stream across over 290,000 live views, which represents nearly a 1.75X increase compared to the industry benchmark of 11 minutes.
We are focused on creating an organic and inclusive community which facilitates personalized experiences. We believe our experiential framework offers a more authentic and differentiated channel for advertisers to utilize, making the otherwise elusive demographic of gamers and streamers accessible at scale to ourselves and our partners. We do this by offering brand sponsors and advertisers an exclusive marketing channel to reach elusive Gen Z and Millennial gamers and creators, while offering players ways to access exclusive tournaments and programming.
In fiscal year 2024, we remained focused on refining our core technology platform, expanding sponsor relationships, and preparing for our IPO, which closed in March 2025.
In May 2025, we launched the first activation under our strategic partnership with Learfield, beginning with the University of Florida. This effort includes event planning, brand asset integration, student athlete involvement, and cross-channel marketing. We believe these activations represent a cornerstone of our digital advertising growth strategy.
Additionally, Post-IPO, we began execution of our development plan with our technology partners, Artemis and EVEMeta. These developments include a focus on building a scalable data insights monetization SaaS model, with a beta version expected in Q1 2026. Once market-ready, we believe this SaaS model will provide a recurring revenue stream by offering anonymized behavioral insights to brand clients seeking better Gen Z engagement.
We continue to manage costs associated with our platform and obligations as a public company while investing in revenue-generating infrastructure. We are also exploring cost-efficient marketing methods to optimize awareness while maintaining efficient customer acquisition costs with a focus on high ROI.
Key near-term objectives include:
- Scaling Learfield-based activations across additional universities under Learfield’s media rights.
- Launching digital activations with rewards through Loyalty Tokens and Bragging Functionality.
- Advancing technological development modules to operational beta.
Organization
We were formed as a Delaware corporation in December 2021.
Brag House, Inc. (“BHI”), the Company’s wholly owned indirect subsidiary and the entity through which our operations are primarily conducted, was formed as a Delaware corporation in February 2018.
On June 11, 2021, Brag House, Ltd. (“BHL”) was registered in the United Kingdom. Their principal offices are located at 7 – 9 Swallow Street, London W1B 4DE, United Kingdom.
On August 16, 2021, BHL acquired all of the 10,000,000 issued and outstanding BHI shares held by BHI shareholders on a one for 14.07 basis (rounded to the nearest whole number) in exchange for 140,700,000 ordinary shares of £0.0001 in BHL, making BHI a wholly owned subsidiary of BHL (“UK Reorganization”).
Following the UK Reorganization, the board of directors of BHL determined that it was in the best interests of BHL and its shareholders that an initial public offering in the United States and concurrent listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) be pursued. To effect that proposed initial public offering and listing on Nasdaq, in December 2021, the Company was formed. On February 8, 2022, the Company approved a reorganization, in which the shareholders of BHL would exchange their ordinary shares and preference shares of BHL for a proportionate number of common and preferred shares in the Company on a 21 to 1 basis (“U.S. Reorganization”). Immediately following the U.S. Reorganization, BHL became the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and BHI became the indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
We anticipate that BHL will be wound down and dissolved as soon as reasonably practicable.
We effected a 1 for 5.1287 consolidation of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock on June 14, 2024, (the “Original Reverse Split”). On October 11, 2024, we canceled the Original Reverse Split and filed an amendment to our certificate of incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a 1 for 2.43615 consolidation of our issued and outstanding Common Stock and Preferred Stock (the “Reverse Split”). Any future redemption of stock options or warrants for options or warrants that were granted prior to October 11, 2024 will also reflect the Reverse Split. The Company began the process to pay for the Fractional Shares, which total $85.81, to its shareholders that were affected by the Reverse Split. This Quarterly Report gives effect to the cancellation of the Original Reverse Split and the effectiveness of the Reverse Split. Except where otherwise indicated, all share and per share data in this Annual Report have been retroactively restated to reflect the Reverse Split.
Our principal executive offices are located at 45 Park Street, Montclair, NJ 07042 and our telephone number is 413-398-2845. Our website address is www.braghouse.com (http://www.braghouse.com). The investor relations portion of our website is available at corp.braghouse.com. The references to our website addresses do not constitute incorporation by reference of the information contained at or available through our websites, and you should not consider it to be a part of this Quarterly Report. We have included our website addresses in this Quarterly Report solely as inactive textual references.
Emerging Growth Company Status
The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 as Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024
Revenue
Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0 and $55, respectively. Revenues for the periods presented consisted of the following: live-streaming services. This decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to no revenue-generating tournament activity or live streaming services in the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company had no tournament revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The live streaming revenue referenced above represents an insignificant source of revenue for the Company.
Tournament revenue consists of money earned from tournament sponsors. The Company’s other revenue comes from revenue earned on the Twitch streaming platform through the Company’s enrollment in the Twitch Affiliate Program. The affiliate program allows the Company to earn revenue from advertising provided to viewers on the channel. The Company streams live events, and their channel may also include past tournaments that can be watched as a Video on Demand (“VOD”). Additionally, the Company generates subscription revenue for users who subscribe to Brag House’s Twitch live-streaming channel. Live-streaming service revenue is not considered tournament revenue since it is not directly attributed to money earned from tournament sponsors and is not received from such sources. This revenue is tracked, determined, and disbursed to the Company directly by Twitch.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $584,470 and $232,014, respectively, and in the three months ended March 31, 2025, consisted mainly of selling, general and administrative expenses of $257,159, legal and professional fees of $138,324, stock-based compensation on restricted stock agreements of $42,500 and advertising and marketing costs of $81,450. In the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company’s operating expenses consisted mainly of selling, general and administrative expenses of $122,561, legal and professional fees of $52,458, stock-based compensation on restricted stock agreements of $46,016 and advertising and marketing costs of $0. This represents an increase of $134,598 in selling, general and administrative expenses, an increase of $85,866 in legal and professional fees, a decrease of $3,516 in stock-based compensation on restricted stock agreements and an increase of $81,450 in advertising and marketing costs. The increase in operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was mainly attributed to increased spending in operations with the recent completion of the IPO in March of 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company had $3,458,017 and $29,228 in cash, respectively, and a working capital surplus of $1,446,355 and deficit of $9,675,586, respectively. The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 31, 2025 were satisfied through proceeds from the sale of equity in the Company’s IPO, convertible debt, notes payable and bridge loans.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $15,715,375 and $14,647,702, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 the Company had a net loss of $1,067,673 and $1,034,161, respectively, and negative cash flows from operations of $1,767,013 and positive cash flows from operations of $56,348, respectively. The Company’s operating activities consume the majority of its cash resources. The Company will continue to promote its services to existing and potential customers, but it anticipates that it will continue to incur operating losses as it executes its development plans through 2025, as well as other potential strategic and business development initiatives. In addition, the Company has had and expects to have negative cash flows from operations, at least into the near future. The Company previously funded and plans to continue funding these losses primarily through the sale of equity and loans. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Pursuant to our agreement with Moroch, we held the “Texas Loyalty Cup”, a Brag House tournament, in 2021 in collaboration with McDonald’s and Coca-Cola. The success of the tournament led to a continued and stronger relationship with McDonald’s and Coca-Cola as we had held two tournaments in 2022: “SoCal FIFA 23 Tournament” which was a direct contract with Coca-Cola and collaborated with McDonald’s through their marketing agency of the Southern California Region, DE, and “Black and Positively Golden Gamers HBCU Tournament Featuring Fortnite” which was a contract with McDonald’s through their agency, WI, in collaboration with Coca-Cola. Due to the success Brag House was able to achieve, the partnership with McDonald’s and Coca-Cola grew stronger as Brag House was contracted by Coca-Cola, in collaboration with McDonald’s, for the third consecutive year to host a nationwide Fortnite tournament with student gamers from five states (Washington, Oregon, California, Oklahoma and Kansas). The tournament is known as the Golden Royale Cup, and took place over the course of three weeks in November, with three qualifying matches, followed by a grand finale match. The Golden Royale Cup amassed nearly 20,000 total hours of aggregate live-streaming content watched, and garnered nearly 300,000 views from gamers watching the tournament in real-time. Furthermore, the event received nearly 1 million impressions across Brag House’s social media platforms.
In addition to the Golden Royale Cup from November 2023, Brag House has finalized three major partnerships agreements; the first with the FWSC, a division of The City of Fort Worth, where we hosted an in-person esports and scholars event on September 21, 2024 at the FWCC focused on college students for the State of Texas. This event showcased not only competitive gaming for the casual gamers but also educational and career opportunities related to gaming and esports for Texas college students while giving the students opportunities to earn and win scholarships. This event featured speakers and panelists from diverse industries, including media agencies, universities, and the movie and entertainment sectors; the second with the Denver Broncos, a world-renowned American Football franchise that competes in the NFL to be a gaming partner for in-person and digital gaming activations (i.e. gaming events) for, at minimum, the 2023-2024 NFL seasons. This partnership concluded in September 2024.
Brag House also secured a strategic partnership for tournament and promotional events in 2025 with Learfield Communications, LLC, formerly Learfield IMG College, a billion dollar media company that holds the media rights to hundreds of colleges in the US, including collegiate properties as the NCAA and its 89 championships and NCAA Football. However, it is important to note that the current agreement does not guarantee revenue, nor does it obligate Learfield or its affiliates to provide data access or support beyond the sales representation scope. The partnership’s first activation was held online on May 17, 2025 (originally scheduled for March 5, 2025) for students and alumni of the University of Florida, one of Learfield’s media rights properties. The execution of this initial activation will serve as a test case for future expansion and data-driven initiatives.
This partnership positions Brag House to leverage Learfield’s college network to generate sponsorship revenue, ensuring brand engagement opportunities, and gives Brag House access to extensive datasets from diverse college campuses as we evolve into a scalable data insight revenue model, where we aim to enable brands to gain data insights to create enhanced, personalized and effective marketing campaigns.
We believe this partnership will contribute directly to Brag House’s revenue model through shared sponsorship earnings, while validating Brag House’s marketing and data strategy for reaching college-aged Gen Z gamers. Through this, the Company plans to scale across Learfield’s properties, expanding brand partnerships in the gaming and esports spaces.
Management believes this is a strong indicator of continued growth in the coming years for tournament revenue. While the Company believes in its viability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company’s ability to further implement its business plan.
However, the Company has earned minimal revenue through the three months ended March 31, 2025. As such, these matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months from the issuance of the accompanying consolidated financial statements. If adequate funds are not available on acceptable terms, or at all, the Company will need to curtail operations or cease operations completely.
| March 31, 2025 | March 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash Flows (Used In) Provided By Operating Activities | $(1,767,013) | $56,348 |
| Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities | 5,195,802 | 72,844 |
| Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $3,428,789 | $129,192 |
Cash Flows Used In Operating Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we used $1,767,013 of cash in our operating activities, which was mainly attributable to the payment of accounts payable, accrued payroll, accrued liabilities, and deferred offering costs. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received $56,348 of cash from our operating activities, which was mainly attributable to increases in accounts payable, accrued payroll, loan extension fees, share payable, and accrued interest.
Cash Flows Provided By Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received $6,991,650 from the issuance of notes payable, original issue discount convertible loans, and the sale of Common Stock. We reduced our cash position by repaying notes payable and original issue discount convertible loans, net of debt discounts and debt issuance costs for $501,126. Also, we reduced our cash position with the payment of offering costs in connection with the sale of Common Stock totaling $1,294,722. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received $72,844 from the issuance of original issue discount convertible loans, net of debt discounts and debt issuance costs.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We did not have any contractual obligations or commitments which would have an impact on our financial statements for the three months ending March 31, 2025 and 2024.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Prior to our IPO, we had been a private company with limited accounting and financial reporting personnel and other resources to address our internal controls and procedures. In connection with the audits of our consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we identified control deficiencies in our financial reporting process that constitute material weaknesses for the years then ended. We have a material weakness related to the review and approval of cash disbursements and related journal entries for operating and payroll-related expenses incurred, including the failure to maintain readily accessible executed versions of significant agreements entered into by the Company. Due to the lack of formal documentation maintained around the review and approval of these types of transactions, it was determined that we did not adhere to established controls around our cash disbursement process, nor the review and approval of related journal entries recorded. Additionally, we have a material weakness related to the lack of controls over our income tax related accounts and disclosures. In the absence of such formal documentation related to our management’s review and approval of such processes, potential material misstatements may go undetected. Additionally, the Company has a material weakness related to the lack of cybersecurity policies and procedures in place. In the absence of cybersecurity controls, Company operations may be negatively impacted, as all Company activities take place online.
As defined in the standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or the PCAOB, of the United States, a “material weakness” is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
We have already taken a number of measures to address the internal control deficiencies that have been identified including, hiring a full-time chief financial office with extensive public-company reporting and technical accounting experience to provide additional financial reporting oversight and review, expanding our existing accounting and financial reporting personnel, as well as establishing effective monitoring and oversight controls. We believe these measures will assist us with meeting the Sarbanes-Oxley compliance requirements and improving our overall internal controls. However, we cannot assure you that these measures may fully address the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or that we may conclude that they have been fully remediated.
We expect to implement our remediation plan within the next 12 months. However, we have not tested the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully remediate these material weaknesses and, even if we do, we cannot assure you that we will not suffer from other material weaknesses in the future. Except for additional personnel costs, we do not expect to incur any material costs related to our remediation plan.
The process of designing and implementing an effective financial reporting system is a continuous effort that requires us to anticipate and react to changes in our business and the economic and regulatory environments and to expend significant resources to maintain a financial reporting system that is adequate to satisfy our reporting obligation.
As a company with less than US $1.235 billion in revenue for our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” pursuant to the JOBS Act. An emerging growth company may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements for a comprehensive list of new accounting pronouncements.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, which require our management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates on our own historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. There are items within our financial statement that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above.
For a detailed discussion of our significant accounting policies and related judgments, see Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.
Going Concern and Management’s Liquidity Plans
The independent auditors’ report accompanying our December 31, 2024 financial statements contain an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. As of March 31, 2025, we have incurred recurring losses from operations and have not generated net income since our inception. We have funded our operations primarily through debt and equity financings, including the proceeds received in connection with our public offering on March 6, 2025, upon which we became a publicly traded company subsequent to the date of these financial statements. While this recent capital raise has provided us with the resources necessary to begin executing our business plan, we anticipate that we will continue to incur operating losses and negative cash flows from operations for the foreseeable future.
We are in the development stage of our platform and related software, and we do not expect to generate sufficient revenue to achieve net income during the next twelve months. Our business plan includes the ongoing development of our software platform, strategic marketing initiatives, and the organization of several gaming activations during the upcoming fiscal year to increase user engagement and brand visibility.
Although we believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, together with the funds raised in our recent public offering, will be sufficient to fund our operations through at least the next twelve months, our operating plan anticipates continued investment in product development, infrastructure, and customer acquisition to realize sufficient revenue to cover operating expenses. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 2,838 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e), promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Company’s reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated our Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses related to the review and approval of cash disbursements and related journal entries for operating and payroll-related expenses incurred, including the failure to maintain readily accessible executed versions of significant agreements entered into by the Company and the lack of controls over our income tax related accounts and disclosures. In the absence of such formal documentation related to our management’s review and approval of such processes, potential material misstatements may go undetected. Additionally, the Company has a material weakness related to its ability to record and disclose complex transactions with debt and/or equity features. Lastly, the Company has a material weakness related to the lack of cybersecurity policies and procedures in place. In the absence of cybersecurity controls, Company operations may be negatively impacted, as all Company activities take place online.
Management’s Quarterly Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not include a report of management’s assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by the rules of the SEC for newly public companies.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Risk factors
As filed, 3,177 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Deficiency - Minimum Bid Requirement
On May 15, 2025, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
While the notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, and the Company’s listing remains fully effective, there is a risk of delisting if the Company does not regain compliance within the prescribed timeframe.
Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided a 180 calendar day grace period, or until November 11, 2025, to regain compliance. To do so, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days prior to that date. If the Company fails to regain compliance by that deadline, it may be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period, provided it satisfies all other initial listing criteria for The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the minimum bid price requirement.
The Company is actively monitoring the situation and exploring options to regain compliance. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet the minimum bid price requirement within the allotted timeframe, qualify for an additional compliance period, or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq continued listing standards. Failure to regain compliance could result in the delisting of the Company’s common stock from Nasdaq, which could adversely affect the trading market, liquidity, and market price of the common stock, and limit the Company’s ability to access capital markets.
As of the date of this filing, the deficiency has not been cured.
Deficiency - Late Filing
On May 27, 2025, the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that it is not not in compliance with periodic requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 was not filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the required due date of May 15, 2025. The Company was given 60 calendar days or until July 28, 2025 to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance. The financial statements were filed prior to the deadline and this resolved the deficiency.
Naked Short Selling Investigation
On May 14, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing that the Company had sent letters to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC requesting an immediate investigation into any potential illegal naked short selling of Brag House stock. The outcome of the investigation is still pending.
