ESS Tech, Inc. — Form 8-K Summary
Event date: September 24, 2026; the filing was signed September 30, 2026. The 8-K reports a NYSE listing matter, not periodic financial results.
Business context and financial information
NYSE Regulation began proceedings to delist ESS Tech’s common stock (NYSE: GWH), finding the shares no longer suitable for listing under Section 802.02 because the company did not demonstrate compliance with Section 802.01B by the end of its maximum plan period. That standard requires either stockholders’ equity of at least $50 million or average total market capitalization of at least $50 million over 30 trading days.
This filing provides no revenue, profit, cash flow, margin, debt, liquidity, or actual stockholders’ equity or market-capitalization figures. It does not provide comparable-period results or financial guidance.
Material development, outlook, and risks
- The company said it currently intends to request a review by an NYSE Board Committee and appeal. It must submit a written request within 10 business days after receiving the notice; the filing does not specify the notice receipt date.
- There is no assurance the appeal will succeed. The NYSE may announce a trading suspension if the company does not timely request review, decides not to appeal, the Committee supports suspension, or other material developments occur. Following a suspension announcement, the NYSE would apply to the SEC to delist the shares.
- Management identifies appeal uncertainty and potential trading suspension and delisting as risks. The filing contains no other operating outlook or quantified contingency.
Important facts for investors to verify
- Whether ESS Tech filed its review request within the applicable 10-business-day deadline and the Committee’s decision.
- Any NYSE announcement concerning suspension, and any subsequent SEC delisting action.
- The company’s latest reported stockholders’ equity and the NYSE’s applicable 30-trading-day average market capitalization, which are not stated in this filing.
