ArcBest regains Nasdaq audit committee compliance after director independence lapse
ArcBest received a Nasdaq notice on March 3, 2025, after it self-reported that its audit committee did not fully meet Nasdaq composition rules because member Fredrik J. Eliasson was not independent due to a family relationship with a partner at the company's outside auditor. Following discovery, Mr. Eliasson resigned from the audit committee, and Nasdaq staff determined the company has regained compliance, subject to completing this disclosure.
