- The company was notified by NYSE American on December 20, 2024, that its plan has been accepted, with a compliance deadline set for April 2, 2026.

Arena Group Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American:AREN), the parent company of well-known media brands such as TheStreet, Parade Media, Men’s Journal, Surfer, Powder, and Athlon Sports, has been notified by NYSE American LLC that its plan to regain compliance with the exchange’s continued listing standards has been accepted.
The company was required to submit a comprehensive plan by November 1, 2024, outlining how it would address the issues preventing it from meeting the standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), 1003(a)(ii), and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE American Company Guide. These guidelines concern various financial and operational metrics necessary for maintaining a listing on the exchange. The deadline for compliance is set for April 2, 2026.
In accordance with the requirements, Arena Group submitted its plan to NYSE American prior to the November deadline. Following the submission, the company received official notification on December 20, 2024, that NYSE American had accepted the plan and granted an extension period to meet compliance standards. Arena Group will now be subject to quarterly monitoring to ensure that progress is being made during this period.
While the company works to regain full compliance, the acceptance of the plan has no immediate impact on its common stock listing or trading on the NYSE American. Additionally, it does not affect Arena Group’s ongoing business operations or its obligations to file reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
However, Arena Group’s ability to maintain its listing on the NYSE American will depend on its progress toward meeting the specified standards by the April 2026 deadline. If the company fails to comply with the standards or does not make sufficient progress in accordance with its plan, NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings.
The company has expressed its intention to meet the compliance requirements within the designated plan period and to maintain its listing status on the exchange. This development is seen as a significant step for Arena Group, as it works to strengthen its position in the media industry and continue providing value to its stakeholders.
For now, Arena Group remains committed to its business strategy and will continue to focus on its diverse portfolio of media brands, including those that have strong consumer bases like TheStreet, Men’s Journal, and Parade Media. The company's leadership is optimistic that the compliance plan, along with ongoing improvements, will allow it to meet the necessary standards and retain its status on the NYSE American.
