**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

On December 31, 2025, Brand Engagement Network Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule"), which requires the Company's common stock to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share.

As previously disclosed, on December 30, 2024, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. The December 31, 2025 letter from Nasdaq confirmed that for the 12 consecutive business days from December 12, 2025 to December 30, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock was at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company is now in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and Nasdaq considers this matter closed.

A copy of the Nasdaq compliance letter dated December 31, 2025 is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
