**Item 3.01. Notice of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard**

On November 5, 2025, Bonk, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter (the "Letter") from the staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market Listing Qualifications ("Staff") that the previously disclosed private placements that the Company entered into on August 8, 2025 and August 29, 2025 (the "Transactions") together and individually failed to comply with the following Nasdaq Listing Rules (the "Rules"): (i) notification requirements under Listing Rules 5250(b)(1), 5250(e)(2)(B) and 5250(e)(2)(D); (ii) Shareholder Approval requirements under Listing Rules 5635(a) and 5635(b); and (iii) Voting Rights requirements under Listing Rule 5640.

The Letter further stated that based on the Company's corrective actions to amend the Transactions and subsequent disclosures, Staff has determined that the Company has regained compliance with the Rules, and that the matter is closed.

August 8, 2025 Transaction

On August 8, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement for an offering of 35,000 shares of its Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"), convertible into 62,701,541 shares of common stock, subject to a conversion cap of 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock until stockholder approval is obtained. The Preferred Stock also included rights to appoint 50% of the Company's board of directors as long as the Preferred Stock remained issued and outstanding (the "Board Appointment Right").

Staff determined that the Company violated Listing Rule 5640 by issuing Preferred Stock with designation rights at a level disproportionally greater than its ownership position, thereby reducing the existing shareholders' voting power. Staff has also determined that, as a result of the Board Appointment Right, the issuance of the Preferred Stock resulted in a Change of Control and as a result required shareholder approval under Listing Rule 5635(b). Since the Company failed to receive shareholder approval prior to the issuance of Preferred Stock, the Company violated Listing Rule 5635(b).

Finally, the Company failed to notify Nasdaq 15 days prior to the issuance of the Preferred Stock, as required by Listing Rule 5250(e). On September 13, 2025, the Company filed the Notification Form Listing of Additional Shares.

Subsequently, on October 6, 2025, the Company amended the Board Appointment Right of the Preferred Stock to include a step-down provision to comply with the Voting Rights Rule under Listing Rule 5640.

August 25, 2025 Transaction

On August 25, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to issue 51,921,080 shares (the "Shares") of common stock to a single investor for consideration paid in BONK Tokens valued at $25 million based on the August 22, 2025, closing price for BONK Tokens (the "PIPE"). On September 5, 2025, the Company filed the Listing of Additional Shares for the PIPE. According to the Form 8-K filed August 29, 2025, the Company closed the PIPE, and the Shares were issued.

Upon review, Staff determined that the Company violated Listing 5635(a) which requires shareholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of the stock or assets of another company if number and the voting power of shares of common stock to be issued is equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares or voting power outstanding before the issuance of stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock.

However, in a correspondence dated October 10, 2025, the Company stated that on September 3, 2025, the Company instructed the transfer agent to not issue the Shares. Notwithstanding this information along with the Company's public disclosure and Listing of Additional Shares notification form stating that the transaction closed on August 29, 2025, it wasn't until October 16, 2025, that the Company filed a Form 8-K, updating its inaccurate disclosure stating that the Shares have not been issued and the issuance is subject to shareholder approval. As a result, Staff has determined that the Company failed to comply with the obligation to make prompt public disclose of material information material information under Listing Rule 5250(b)(1).

Although Staff has determined that the Transactions violated Nasdaq's notification requirements under Listing Rules 5250(b)(1), 5250(e)(2)(B) and 5250(e)(2)(D), Nasdaq's shareholder approval requirements under Listing Rules 5635(a) and 5635(b), and Nasdaq's Voting Rights Rule under 5640, based on the Company's corrective actions to amend the Transactions and subsequent disclosures, Staff has determined that the Company has regained compliance with the Rules, and this matter is closed.

**Bonk, Inc. Announces Strategic Board Refresh to Align with New Corporate Vision**

*New Appointments Establish a Bonk-Aligned Majority on the Board of Directors, Adding Deep Expertise in DeFi, Institutional Finance, and High-Growth Digital Asset Operations*

**SCOTTSDALE, AZ – November 6, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)** – Bonk, Inc. (Nasdaq: BNKK) today announced the completion of a strategic refresh of its Board of Directors with the appointment of three new members: Connor Klein, an investment partner at New Form Capital, who joined the Board two weeks prior as disclosed in a Form 8-K filing; Stacey Duffy, a seasoned financial due diligence and transaction advisory expert; and Jamie McAvity, co-founder and CEO of Bitcoin miner Cormint, Inc.

These new appointments are designed to provide the Company with enhanced expertise in digital assets, capital markets, and high-growth operations as it executes on its new strategy centered around its subsidiary, **BONK Holdings** LLC. Following these changes, the Board of Directors is composed of seven members, with the four most recent appointments—including Mitchell Rudy (a.k.a. Nom)—giving the new, Bonk-aligned members a clear majority.

Concurrent with the new appointments, the Company announced the resignations of Jordan Schur and Rich Pascucci from the Board of Directors. Mr. Schur will remain in his executive role as President of Bonk, Inc.

The new members of Bonk, Inc.'s Board of Directors include:

● **Connor Klein:** An Investment Partner at New Form Capital, Mr. Klein is responsible for investments across financial infrastructure, real-world assets, and DeFi. He previously worked in Investment Banking at Morgan Stanley in its consumer & retail group and in growth at Halliday, an Andreessen Horowitz-backed crypto payments startup. He holds a B.A. in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania.

● **Stacey Duffy, ACA:** A Director-level financial due diligence professional, Ms. Duffy has extensive experience leading complex transactions for corporate and private equity clients at firms including Alvarez & Marsal and KPMG. Her historical deals range across public and private companies, international acquisitions, and carve-out transactions.

Mr. McAvity has scaled Cormint to 130MW of capacity and has been recognized for operating the most efficient Bitcoin mining operation in 2023 and 2024 by CoinShares and MinerMag. Previously, he was a member of the management team and Board of Directors of Knock, Inc., a SaaS business that saw a successful exit to Realpage in 2022.

"We are thrilled to welcome Connor, Stacey, and Jamie to our Board of Directors," said Jarrett Boon, CEO of Bonk, Inc.

They have been instrumental in our progress, and we wish them the very best."

Mitchell Rudy (a.k.a. Nom), a BONK core contributor and Board Director, added, "Bringing on talent of this caliber is a testament to the scale of the opportunity we are pursuing. Connor's deep expertise in DeFi and venture capital, Stacey's command of complex financial transactions, and Jamie's proven ability to scale high-growth operations in the digital asset space provide us with an incredible strategic advantage. This is the team we need to build the premier public vehicle for the BONK ecosystem, and I am thrilled to work alongside them."
