OceanPal Inc. Receives Nasdaq Notification for Late Form 20‑F Filing

The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) issued a delinquency notice to OceanPal Inc. (NASDAQ: SVRN) on 19 May 2026, citing the company’s failure to file its Annual Report on Form 20‑F for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2025 within the required timeframe. The notice references Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) and confirms that the delay does not immediately affect the listing or trading of OceanPal’s common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Deadline and Compliance Plan

OceanPal has 60 calendar days, until 20 July 2026, to submit a compliance plan to Nasdaq. If Nasdaq accepts the plan, the company may receive an exception of up to 180 calendar days, extending the compliance window to 27 October 2026. OceanPal stated it intends to resolve the issue promptly and expects to file the required plan before the July deadline.

The company’s subsidiary, SovereignAI Services LLC, manages a publicly traded NEAR Protocol treasury that accrues yield through institutional staking and offers regulated exposure to the NEAR ecosystem.
