Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 8-K Current Report was filed by Advantage Solutions Inc. on January 9, 2026, regarding an event that occurred on January 7, 2026. The Company is incorporated in Delaware and its Class A common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol ADV.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide specific values for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt, or liquidity. This report focuses exclusively on regulatory compliance regarding stock listing standards rather than financial performance metrics.
Material Changes
The primary material event is the receipt of a written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating non-compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement (Listing Rule 5450(a)(1)) for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Select Market.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Period: The Company has 180 calendar days (until July 6, 2026) to regain compliance.
- Remediation Requirement: To comply, the closing bid price must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days within the 180-day window.
- Immediate Impact: The notice has no immediate effect on the listing status of the Company's common stock.
- Contingency Plan: If compliance is not achieved by July 6, 2026, the Company may apply to transfer to the NASDAQ Capital Market. This requires meeting market value of publicly held shares and other initial listing standards (excluding the minimum bid price) and paying an application fee.
- Risks: Failure to regain compliance within allotted periods (including extensions) will result in delisting. While the Company can appeal a delisting determination, there is no assurance of success.
- Management Action: The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price and consider options to regain compliance.
