iMedia Brands, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) is an entertainment company capitalizing on the convergence of entertainment, ecommerce, and advertising. The Company owns a growing portfolio of businesses that cross promote and exchange data with each other to optimize the engagement experiences it creates for advertisers and consumers in the United States and Western Europe. The Company believes its growth strategy builds on its core strengths.

Beginning with the financial statements for our fiscal year ended January 29, 2022, the Company began reporting based on three segments:

Entertainment, which comprises its television networks, ShopHQ, ShopBulldogTV, ShopHQHealth, and 1-2-3.tv.
Consumer Brands, which comprises Christopher & Banks (“C&B”), and J.W. Hulme Company (“JW”).
Media Commerce Services, which comprises iMedia Digital Services (“iMDS”).

The corresponding current and prior period disclosures have been recast to reflect the current segment presentation. See Note 10 – “Business Segments and Sales by Product Group.”

On October 14, 2022, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it has not been in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for a period of 30 consecutive business days (the "Notice"). This Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's stock on The Nasdaq Global Market.

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is provided a compliance period of 180 days from the date of the Notice to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance during the compliance period, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company must meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly-held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market (with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement) and notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance periods, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, the Company's stock will be subject to delisting.

The Company can achieve compliance with the minimum bid price requirement if, during either compliance period, the closing bid price per share of the Company's stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its stock and assess potential actions to regain compliance, but there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second 180-day period to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
