Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

As previously disclosed in the Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25, filed by Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 2, 2024, the Company determined that it was unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) by the prescribed due date because the Company required additional time to finalize its impairment assessment procedures and complete the necessary valuation process for certain long-lived fixed assets subject to impairment to be recorded in the financial statements included in the Form 10-K.

On April 18, 2024, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with requirements of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”) as a result of not having timely filed its Form 10-K with the SEC. Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 60 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until June 17, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule, if the Form 10-K is not filed before such date. Following receipt of such plan, if applicable, Nasdaq may grant the Company an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the Form 10-K due date, or until October 14, 2024, for the Company to regain compliance with the Rule. If the Company fails to regain compliance with the Rule, the Company’s securities would be subject to delisting from Nasdaq, provided that the Company would be able to request a hearing before an independent Nasdaq Hearings Panel which hearing request would automatically stay any suspension or delisting action through the conclusion of the hearings process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq. While the Company can provide no assurances as to timing, the Company is working diligently to finalize the Form 10-K and plans to file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable, including to regain compliance with the Rule.

Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On April 24, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information shall not be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except to the extent that such other filing specifically incorporates such information by reference.
