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

On August 26, 2025, Pathward Financial, Inc. ("Pathward Financial" or the "Company") received an expected notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"), indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Listing Rule") as a result of its failure to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Form 10-Q") for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025, as described more fully in the Company's Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 11, 2025 (the "Form 12b-25"). The Listing Rule requires listed companies to timely file all periodic reports with the SEC.

The Company previously reported that it had received a similar Notice from Nasdaq on May 22, 2025 as a result of its failure to timely file its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025. In accordance with Nasdaq's listing rules, the Company submitted a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule to Nasdaq, and Nasdaq granted the Company an extension to regain compliance with the Listing Rule until November 13, 2025.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's common stock on Nasdaq. The Company filed its amended Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2024 on August 29, 2025. As disclosed in the Form 12b-25 and the Company's Form 8-K filed on July 2, 2025, the Company is also in the process of amending its Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2024 to restate certain financial statements contained therein and filing its Form 10-Qs for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025; respectively. The restatements related to the Company's gross vs. net basis presentation and derivative accounting, and financial reporting, of certain third-party lending and servicing relationships within the Consumer Solutions business, within held-for-investment loan balances.

In accordance with the Notice, the Company has until September 10, 2025 to submit an update to its plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. Pursuant to the Notice, the Company has until September 10, 2025 to submit an update to its plan to regain compliance, but Nasdaq will not further extend the deadline for compliance. The Company intends to take the necessary steps to regain compliance with Nasdaq's listing rules as soon as practicable and in any event prior to the November 13, 2025 deadline.

Item 7.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Regulation FD Disclosure.

On September 2, 2025, the Company issued a press release disclosing the receipt of the Notice. A copy of the press release is being furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

The information furnished in this Item 7.01 and 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, nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
