Surf Air Mobility Receives Non-Compliance Notice from NYSE Regarding Minimum Share Price Requirement
Key Points:
- Surf Air Mobility Inc. (NYSE: SRFM) has received a non-compliance notice from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) due to its average closing share price falling below \$1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.
- The company’s stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the ticker SRFM for the time being, as the notice has no immediate impact on its listing status.
- Surf Air Mobility has six months to regain compliance with NYSE rules, either through organic share price recovery or, if necessary, a reverse stock split, which has already been approved by shareholders as a risk mitigation measure.
- The company intends to regain compliance organically, but has not ruled out a reverse stock split, which would be implemented only if other means are unsuccessful.
- The NYSE notice does not affect the ongoing business operations or SEC reporting requirements of Surf Air Mobility and its subsidiaries.
Details of the NYSE Notice
On July 24, 2026, Surf Air Mobility announced it had received a notification from the NYSE stating that the company is not in compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. This section requires listed companies to maintain an average closing share price of at least \$1.00 over a 30 trading-day period.
The company’s stock price has failed to meet this requirement, prompting the NYSE notice. Despite this, Surf Air Mobility’s common stock will remain listed and continue to trade on the NYSE for now, provided the company meets other continued listing standards.
Plan to Regain Compliance
Surf Air Mobility has indicated that it will formally notify the NYSE within ten business days of its intention to cure the deficiency. The company has a six-month window from receipt of the notice to restore compliance. Compliance can be regained at any time during this period if, on the last trading day of any calendar month, the closing share price is at least \$1.00 and the 30-day average closing price is also at least \$1.00.
The company’s current plan is to restore compliance organically through improvements in the business and share price. However, if this approach is unsuccessful, management will consider alternative actions—including a reverse stock split. Notably, shareholders authorized the board to carry out a reverse split at the July 24, 2026 Annual Meeting. This approval does not commit the company to a reverse split, but rather gives management flexibility to use it as a risk mitigation tool if needed.
Should the company initiate a reverse stock split, NYSE rules dictate that compliance will be considered achieved if the share price promptly rises above \$1.00 and remains there for at least 30 trading days.
Business Impact and Forward-Looking Statements
The company emphasized that the NYSE notice is not expected to impact its ongoing operations, the operations of its subsidiaries, or its obligations to file reports with the SEC.
Surf Air Mobility also included standard cautionary language regarding forward-looking statements, noting that any projections about regaining compliance, business operations, or financial outlook are subject to a range of risks and uncertainties. These include, but are not limited to, the company’s ability to secure adequate financing, reliance on third-party suppliers, execution of business growth strategies, customer payment risks, and compliance with SEC and NYSE regulations. Investors are encouraged to review the company’s SEC filings for a more detailed discussion of these risks.

Potential Impact on Shareholders and Share Price
- This NYSE non-compliance notice is a material development and could be price sensitive, as delisting risks typically weigh on share prices and investor sentiment.
- The company’s ability to resolve the issue organically or through a reverse split will be closely monitored by investors. Failure to regain compliance within the six-month window could result in delisting from the NYSE, which may significantly impact share liquidity and value.
- Shareholder approval of a reverse split provides management with flexibility, but also signals the seriousness of the compliance issue.
