Summary
Polar Power disclosed it received a deficiency letter from Nasdaq on May 1, 2026 for failing to maintain the required $2.5 million in stockholders' equity. The company reported just $144,000 in equity as of year-end 2025—a severe capital shortfall that puts its Nasdaq listing at risk.
Management now has 45 days to propose a compliance plan and, if approved, 180 days total to restore adequate equity levels or face delisting procedures. For retail investors, this is a critical liquidity and capital structure warning. Companies with near-zero equity often struggle to raise capital, fund operations, or avoid bankruptcy.
While management hints at improved Q1 results, those figures remain preliminary and unaudited. The 180-day clock is ticking, and failure to regain compliance would force POLA to over-the-counter markets, reducing liquidity and institutional interest. If equity remains below $1 million, the path to compliance becomes much steeper.

As a result, we are now subject to the procedures and requirements of Listing Rule 5810(c) (2). This rule grants us 45 days to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance. We intend to submit such a plan to Nasdaq, and if Nasdaq accepts our plan, we will have 180 days from the date of the Letter to regain compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept our plan, or if it accepts our plan but we do not then regain compliance by the 180 day deadline, Nasdaq will begin delisting procedures, which we may appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The company has 45 days to submit a compliance plan to Nasdaq. If accepted, they have 180 days from May 1, 2026 to regain compliance with the equity requirement. Failure to meet these deadlines will trigger formal delisting procedures, though the company can appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

We are working diligently on implementing a plan to regain compliance at the earliest possible time. We also believe that our stockholders’ equity as of March 31, 2026 will be substantially greater than it was on December 31, 2025. This belief is based on preliminary internal financial results, and our current expectations are subject to change as we complete internal procedures to finalize our financial statements as of and for the period ended March 31, 2026.
