Item 8.01 Other Events.
On May 16, 2023, Avenir Wellness Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware corporation formerly known as CURE Pharmaceutical Holding Corp., was notified by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTC Markets Group”) that its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, would be moved from the OTC Market Group’s OTCQB market (the “OTCQB”) to the OTC Pink Market, effective May 17, 2023, because the Company has not yet filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), failing to comply with the Company’s ongoing disclosure obligations outlined in Section 2.2(2) of the OTCQB Standards.
The Company intends to regain compliance with the requirements under the OTCQB Standards by filing its Form 10-K as soon as practical, and immediately reapply to move its common stock back to the OTCQB after the delinquent filings have been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company’s common stock is now quoted on the OTC Pink Market.
On May 17, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing, among other things, the removal from the OTCQB of its common stock. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
