CID Holdco, Inc. 8-K Filing Summary
Business Context and Reporting Period
CID Holdco, Inc. (CID HoldCo), a Delaware corporation, filed this Current Report on Form 8-K on August 12, 2026, regarding events occurring on August 6, 2026. The Company's common stock (DAIC) and warrants (DAICW) are listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The filing addresses a critical regulatory determination regarding the Company's continued listing status.
Key Financial Metrics
This filing does not contain standard financial performance metrics such as revenue, profit, cash flow, or debt levels. The only financial data points disclosed relate to listing compliance thresholds:
- Market Value of Listed Securities (MVLS): The Company failed to maintain the required minimum of $50 million.
- Minimum Bid Price: Previously fell below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days (compliance regained in June 2026).
- Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (MVPHS): Previously failed to maintain the required minimum of $15 million.
- Warrant Exercise Price: $287.50 per share (reflecting a reverse stock split effective May 29, 2026).
Material Changes and Events
On August 6, 2026, Nasdaq staff issued a "Staff Determination" to delist CID HoldCo's common stock pursuant to Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) due to failure to satisfy the $50 million MVLS requirement. While the Company regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement in June 2026, it did not meet the MVLS deadline of August 4, 2026. The Company also previously received deficiency notices regarding the MVPHS requirement with a deadline of August 10, 2026.
Outlook, Management Commentary, and Risks
The Company intends to appeal the Staff Determination by requesting a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The request must be submitted by August 13, 2026, and requires a $20,000 fee. Filing this appeal will stay the suspension of trading and the filing of a Form 25-NSE pending the Panel's decision. Management explicitly states there can be no assurance that the hearing will be granted, that the Panel will rule in the Company's favor, or that the Company will be able to demonstrate compliance within any timeframe granted. The future of trading for the Common Stock depends entirely on the Hearings Panel's decision.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of the appeal request with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel by August 13, 2026.

- Review the press release dated August 12, 2026 (Exhibit 99.1) for additional details on the Company's strategy.
