INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 6-K REPORT

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

As previously disclosed, on December 28, 2022, MEDIROM Healthcare Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the Company’s non-compliance with the $35 million market value of listed securities requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), the Company’s American Depositary Shares, representing common shares of the Company, were to be suspended from trading on and delisted from Nasdaq. The Company timely requested a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) to appeal the delisting determination, which hearing was granted and held on February 16, 2023. On March 15, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Panel granting the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq until May 1, 2023, subject to evidencing compliance by such date with the net income standard set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(3), which requires a minimum net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years. On April 28, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Panel granting the Company’s request for an extension until May 19, 2023 to demonstrate compliance with the net income standard in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, which the Company intends to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on or before May 19, 2023.

Issuance of Press Release

On May 1, 2023, the Company issued a press release to announce that the Panel has granted the Company’s request for an extension until May 19, 2023 to demonstrate compliance with the net income standard.

The press release furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report on Form 6-K shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.
