U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

You’ve Exceeded the SEC’s Traffic Limit

Your request rate has exceeded the SEC’s maximum allowable requests per second. Your access to SEC.gov will be limited for 10 minutes.

Current guidelines limit each user to a total of no more than 10 requests per second, regardless of the number of machines used to submit requests. To ensure that SEC.gov remains available to all users, we reserve the right to block IP addresses that submit excessive requests.

The block will be lifted automatically by waiting 10 minutes. Continuing to exceed the SEC’s maximum allowable request rate during the time-out period will extend the duration of the time-out period. To ensure fair access for all users, please reduce the rate of your requests and visit SEC.gov again after the 10 minute time-out period has passed.

If a user or application submits more than 10 requests per second, further requests from the IP address(es) may be limited for a brief period. Once the rate of requests has dropped below the threshold for 10 minutes, the user may resume accessing content on SEC.gov.

Item 2.02    Results of Operations and Financial Condition. On April 18, 2023, a.k.a. Brands Holding Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing certain preliminary financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and its receipt of a non-compliance notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) as further disclosed under Item 3.01 hereof. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference. Item 3.01    Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. On April 12, 2023, the Company was notified by the NYSE that the average closing price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, over the prior consecutive 30 trading-day period was below $1.00, which is the minimum average closing price required to maintain listing on the NYSE under Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. Pursuant to Section 802.01C, the Company has a period of six months following receipt of the NYSE notice to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. In order to regain compliance, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period, the common stock must have (i) a closing price of at least $1.00 and (ii) an average closing price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of such month. As required by the NYSE, the Company intends to respond timely to the NYSE with respect to its intent to cure the deficiency to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement, which may include, if necessary, effecting a reverse stock split, subject to approval by the Board of Directors and stockholders of the Company. The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the six-month cure period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements of the NYSE. The common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE under the symbol “AKA” but will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards. Failure to satisfy the conditions of the cure period or to maintain other listing requirements could lead to a delisting. The notice does not affect ongoing business operations of the Company or its reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission nor does it trigger any violation of its debt obligations.
