Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. On August 21, 2024 Nicholas Financial, Inc. (the " Company ") received a letter (the "Non-Compliance Letter") from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") stating the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Nasdaq Listing Rule") as a result of its failure to have timely filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the "June 2024 10-Q"). The Non-Compliance Letter provides that, under Nasdaq rules, the Company now has 60 calendar days, or until October 21, 2024 to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance in accordance with Nasdaq's listing requirements.

If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's plan, the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(a). The Non-Compliance Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.
