Arrow Financial Corporation Announces Receipt of NASDAQ Noncompliance Notice

GLENS FALLS, N.Y., May 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Arrow Financial Corporation, a New York corporation (the "Company") announced that the Company is noncompliant with the periodic filing requirements for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule") as a result of its failure to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by the required due date (the "April Nasdaq Notice").

On May 12, 2023, the Company received an additional notice from Nasdaq that the Company remains noncompliant with the Rule as a result of its failure to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 (the "First Quarter Form 10-Q") with the SEC by the required due date (the "May Nasdaq Notice" and, together with the April Nasdaq Notice, the "Nasdaq Notices"). As disclosed by the Company on its Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25, filed with the SEC on May 11, 2023, the Company was unable to timely file the First Quarter Form 10-Q without unreasonable effort or expense.

As previously reported by the Company in its Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023, as amended on March 31, 2023, the Company was unable to timely file the 2022 Form 10-K without unreasonable effort or expense. The Company intends to submit the 2022 Form 10-K as soon as practicable. Upon the submission of the 2022 Form 10-K, the Company intends to promptly prepare and file the First Quarter Form 10-Q as soon as practicable.

As previously disclosed in the April Form 8-K, the Company is required to submit a plan, within 60 calendar days of receiving the April Nasdaq Notice, or by June 2, 2023, which outlines the steps the Company expects to take to become compliant with the Rule. If Nasdaq accepts the Company's plan, Nasdaq may grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the 2022 Form 10-K, as extended by Rule 12b-25, or by September 27, 2023, to regain compliance. However, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company's plan to regain compliance or that the Company will be able to regain compliance within any extension period granted by Nasdaq. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company's plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq hearings panel. The Company currently expects to file one plan to address the Nasdaq Notices.

The Nasdaq Notices have no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's shares of common stock, though Nasdaq will continue to broadcast an indicator over its market data dissemination network noting the Company's noncompliance. If the Company remains noncompliant with the Rule at the end of the 180-day extension period, the Company's shares of common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq.
