Zone Frontier sold its legacy CleanCore cleaning products business, including its Irish subsidiary, to Sanzonate Holdings LLC under an agreement signed and closed on October 7, 2026.

Mannatech told investors it believes it has regained compliance with Nasdaq's $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement, after a deficiency notice dated April 20, 2026. The claim rests on a pro forma adjustment tied to a share purchase agreement and a tax ruling, and the auditor review and Nasdaq's own view are still pending, so the listing outcome remains uncertain for shareholders.
Stockholders' equity was $(5,223,000) per the 2025 Form 10-K and $(4,970,000) as of June 30, 2026, per the Q2 Form 10-Q, against a $2,500,000 requirement.
Mannatech's share purchase agreement gives it 100% direct ownership of Mannatech Swiss Holdings GmbH, which the company says qualifies distributions for a 5% withholding tax rate.
Nasdaq will keep monitoring; if the 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2026 does not show compliance, the company may face delisting, with a right to appeal to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Q3 2026 Form 10-Q is expected on or before November 16, 2026, and the pro forma adjustment will be reviewed by the independent auditor.

Plum Acquisition Corp. IV received a Nasdaq notice on October 7, 2026, saying it did not meet the 400 total holders requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) requires at least 400 total holders; the company was found not in compliance.

GoldMining Inc., the parent of U.S. GoldMining, furnished unaudited interim financial statements and MD&A for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2026, filed on Form 6-K and attached to this 8-K. The company reports in Canadian dollars, and the filing says the figures are preliminary, not prepared under US GAAP, and subject to adjustment because the September 30, 2026 quarter-end close is not complete. The three-month net loss widened sharply, mainly on higher exploration expenses, which matters to shareholders as it reduces cash and the equity base.
Three-month net loss of C$14.1 million (C$14,134 thousand) versus net income of C$0.3 million (C$252 thousand) a year earlier; loss per share of C$0.05 versus C$0.00.

Nathan's Famous said it is voluntarily supplementing its definitive proxy statement for the proposed $102.00-per-share merger with Smithfield Foods, after two stockholder lawsuits and fifteen demand letters challenged the proxy's disclosures. The company and its board deny the claims, but say the supplements aim to moot the disclosure claims and reduce litigation costs and risks before the October 23, 2026 special meeting of stockholders.
Two lawsuits were filed September 30, 2026, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against the company and its board, and seek to enjoin the merger.
Purported stockholders delivered fifteen demand letters and two Section 220 books-and-records demands under Delaware law.
The supplemental disclosures cover executive retention discussions with the buyer and Jefferies LLC's selected companies analysis.
The special meeting of stockholders is scheduled for October 23, 2026; the merger consideration is $102.00 per share.

Comtech said CFO Michael Bondi will leave after he files the first-quarter fiscal 2027 Form 10-Q, and Richard Nyren, now Executive Vice President, Finance, will become CFO at that point. The company tied the changes to the anticipated closing of the sale of most of its Satellite and Space Communications business to an affiliate of Gilat Satellite Networks, and it also named Amy Rothstein-Hovey as General Counsel.

The amendment also raises his change-in-control severance multiplier to 2.99 times from two times for terminations on or before December 31, 2028, and adds an excise tax make-whole payment for changes of control on or before that date, which shareholders may view as added cost tied to the CEO's pay package.

Yext's board on October 11, 2026 approved a nonstatutory stock option for CEO Michael Walrath covering 11,000,000 shares at a $7.00 exercise price, a premium to the $6.93 close on October 9, 2026. The option vests only if the stock hits one of 14 escalating price targets over up to ten years, and it requires stockholder approval within twelve months. The grant is significant because it aligns the CEO's potential pay with large share price gains, but its value depends entirely on those gains being achieved.
