Broadway Financial Corporation (“Broadway”, “we”, or the “Company”) (Nasdaq Capital Market: BYFC), parent company of City First Bank, National Association (the “Bank”, and collectively, with the Company, “City First Broadway”), received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that because the Company did not file its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the required filing date, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) for continued listing.

Previously Nasdaq granted the Company an exception for filing its delinquent Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2023, until May 13, 2024. As a result of that exception, Nasdaq informed the Company in this latest notice that Broadway must file its Form 10-K for fiscal 2023 on or before the same date: May 13, 2024. Furthermore, the notice requires the Company to submit an update to its original plan to regain compliance with the filing requirement, which was originally submitted to Nasdaq in connection with the delinquent filing of the Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2023, and to describe progress that the Company has made towards implementing the plan.

Broadway is in the process of providing an updated plan to Nasdaq, which will describe progress that has been made in that regard, and intends to file both the Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2023 and the Form 10-K for calendar 2023 on or before May 13, 2024. In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company began implementing changes to its internal controls to strengthen overall financial controls and provide reasonable assurance that Broadway can report accurate, timely financial information in compliance with rules and regulations of the SEC.
