Traders should expect further price deterioration as the delisting formalizes and remaining holders exit. Monitor for any subsequent OTC trading halts or bankruptcy filings, as the company's failure to meet listing standards often precedes deeper financial distress.

Executive Summary
Nasdaq has filed a Form 25-NSE to remove FAT Brands Inc. (FATPQ) from listing, effective May 26, 2026, after the company failed to qualify for continued listing under Rules 5101, 5110(b), and IM-5101-1. The securities were already suspended on February 4, 2026, and the company did not appeal the delisting determination. This filing formalizes the delisting process, pushing the stock further into the OTC market with reduced liquidity and visibility.
Key Facts
- Nasdaq determined FAT Brands no longer qualified for listing under Rules 5101, 5110(b), and IM-5101-1.

- Securities were suspended from trading on February 4, 2026.
- Delisting becomes effective at the opening of trading on May 26, 2026.

Financial Impact

Risk Factors
- Complete loss of exchange listing further reduces liquidity and may trigger debt covenant violations.
- Potential for further regulatory actions or creditor enforcement given the company's inability to maintain listing standards.
