ALOT: 15-12G · delisting
AstroNova, Inc. filed a Form 15 with the SEC on September 8, 2026 to terminate the registration of its $0.05 par value common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act, relying on Rule 12g-4(a)(1) and Rule 12h-3(b)(1)(i). The filing reports approximately one holder of record as of the notice date, meaning the public float has been effectively eliminated and no public investors remain of record. Form 15 filings like this typically follow a going-private transaction or a deliberate holder-reduction event, although this filing does not name any underlying transaction. With the notice, AstroNova suspends its duty to file periodic reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, ending public-disclosure obligations; the filing was signed by Chief Executive Officer and President Jorik E. Ittmann.
ALOT: 25-NSE · delisting
Nasdaq has filed a Form 25 (25-NSE) to remove AstroNova, Inc.'s securities from listing and registration under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act. A Form 25 filed by the listing exchange formally strips a company's shares of their national exchange listing, and trading in the stock on that exchange ceases upon effectiveness. Delistings via Form 25 typically accompany a completed acquisition or merger, a bankruptcy proceeding, or a failure to maintain exchange listing standards. The filing text provided states no reason for the removal and contains no deal terms or financial figures. For holders, an exchange delisting generally means reduced liquidity, analyst coverage, and institutional visibility, with shares most often migrating to over-the-counter markets unless the company has been acquired. Agents should monitor for a companion 8-K or merger proxy to determine whether this is a transaction-driven or punitive delisting.
