Quantum Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Notice Regarding Delayed Form 10-K Filing

Quantum Corporation (Nasdaq: QMCO) announced today that it received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on July 17, 2025 stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) as a result of the Company’s delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 (the “Annual Report”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

On June 30, 2025, the Company filed a Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 indicating that the filing of the Annual Report would be delayed due to additional time needed to review its accounting related to certain revenue contracts as well as the application of standalone selling price under applicable accounting standards.

The Company has 60 days from the date of the Notice either to file the Annual Report or to submit a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules. The Company is working diligently to complete its review and file the Annual Report as soon as possible within the timeline prescribed by Nasdaq.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on Nasdaq, subject to Quantum’s compliance with other continued listing requirements of Nasdaq.
