Risks Related to Teads and Teads’ Industry
If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq, the Common Stock may be delisted, which could adversely affect its market liquidity and market price.
To maintain the listing of the Common Stock on Nasdaq, we are required to meet certain listing requirements, including Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), which requires us to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). As previously disclosed, on December 22, 2025, we received notice from Nasdaq that we were not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Listing Rule”), we were granted an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until June 22, 2026, to regain compliance. On June 5, 2026, we received notice from Nasdaq that we had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and that the matter was closed.
Since June 29, 2026, the closing bid price of the Common Stock has been below $1.00 per share. Under the Listing Rule, a failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement is determined to exist if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Accordingly, if the closing bid price of the Common Stock remains below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we expect to receive a new notice of non-compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which would commence a new 180-day compliance period under the Listing Rule. There can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or with the other requirements for listing the Common Stock on Nasdaq. If we are unable to satisfy the Nasdaq criteria for continued listing, the Common Stock would be subject to delisting, which could negatively impact us by, among other things, (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of the Common Stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Common Stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) decreasing the amount of news and analyst coverage of us; (iv) limiting our ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; (v) limiting our ability to use a registration statement to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby preventing us from accessing the public capital markets; and (vi) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees. In addition, delisting from Nasdaq may negatively impact our reputation and, consequently, our business.
Risks Relating to Legal or Regulatory Matters
Our litigation with Google presents potential risks that could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
On August 3, 2026, we filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Google LLC and Alphabet Inc. (together, “Google”) seeking financial damages and other remedies (the “Google Lawsuit”). The Google Lawsuit follows the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia’s ruling that Google LLC had engaged in unlawful anticompetitive practices with respect to certain digital ad tech markets. Google is a significant participant in the digital advertising ecosystem and a competitor to the Company. Moreover, a meaningful portion of our revenue is generated through transactions that involve Google’s advertising technology. The Google Lawsuit is in its early stages, and the outcome and timing of the Google Lawsuit are uncertain and difficult to predict. The Google Lawsuit presents several risks to our business, including the potential for retaliatory actions by Google. Any such actions could disrupt our ability to serve our customers and partners, reduce our revenue, and harm our relationships with publishers and advertisers. The Google Lawsuit may be costly, protracted, and divert management’s attention and resources from our business operations. Any damages awarded may not be commensurate with our expectations, and we may not receive any monetary damages at all. The existence of the Google Lawsuit and any potential retaliatory measures could also negatively affect our reputation and our ability to compete, potentially causing our business, financial condition, and results of operations to be materially and adversely affected.
