The Container Store Receives Notice of Non-Compliance with New York Stock Exchange Trading Share Price Listing Rule

Company Intends to cure the deficiency and return to compliance with NYSE standard

Notice does not impact trading of the Company’s common stock

The Container Store Group, Inc. (NYSE: TCS) (the “Company”), the nation’s leading retailer of organizing solutions, custom spaces, and in-home services, today announced that it was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that it is not in compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from the NYSE.

On May 14, 2024 the Company notified the NYSE that it intends to cure the stock price deficiency and to return to compliance with the NYSE continued listing standard.

The Company intends to consider available options to cure the deficiency and restore compliance with Section 802.01C, including, but not limited to, a reverse stock split, subject to stockholder approval no later than at the Company’s next annual meeting of stockholders, if necessary.

The Company can regain compliance at any time within the six-month period following receipt of the NYSE notice if on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period the Company has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month.

Under the NYSE’s rules, if the Company determines that it will cure the stock price deficiency by taking an action that will require stockholder approval at its next annual meeting of stockholders, the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share, and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 trading days.

The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.
