Watch for any withdrawal or postponement of the delisting filing before October 2, 2026 — a reversal would be a significant positive surprise. Otherwise, expect forced selling pressure as the last trading day approaches.

Executive Summary

Waldencast filed a Form 25 to voluntarily delist its Class A ordinary shares and warrants from Nasdaq, with the last trading day expected on or about October 2, 2026. The company also intends to file a Form 15 to suspend SEC reporting obligations, effectively going private. This is a material corporate action that removes the stock from public trading and eliminates ongoing disclosure requirements.

Key Facts

  • Filed Form 25 on September 24, 2026 to delist from Nasdaq
  • Last trading day expected on or about October 2, 2026
  • Intends to file Form 15 on or about October 5, 2026 to suspend SEC reporting
  • Section 12(b) deregistration expected effective 90 days after Form 25 filing
  • Company reserves right to withdraw or postpone filings

Financial Impact

Complete loss of public market liquidity and price discovery; shareholders will be forced to sell by October 2, 2026 or hold illiquid shares post-delisting. No deal value or premium stated.

Risk Factors

  • Shareholders unable to sell after October 2, 2026, facing illiquid over-the-counter trading
  • No stated buyout or going-private transaction — shareholders receive no compensation
  • Potential SEC denial or delay of deregistration could create uncertainty
