Monitor for any withdrawal of the Form 15 or SEC denial, which would require resumption of reporting. The move to OTC Pink and deregistration signals a significant reduction in public company obligations and likely reduced liquidity and institutional interest.

Executive Summary
Waldencast plc filed a Form 15 with the SEC to terminate registration of its Class A ordinary shares and warrants under Section 12(g) and suspend its SEC reporting obligations. The company had previously moved its securities to the Pink Limited market of the OTC Markets Group under tickers MLKMF and MLKWF as of October 5, 2026.
