NEW YORK, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lument Finance Trust, Inc. (NYSE: LFT) ("LFT" or the "Company") today announced that it received notice from the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that the Company is not in compliance with Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because the average closing price of the Company's common stock was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period.

The notice is a notice of deficiency, not delisting, and does not currently impact the listing and trading of the Company's common stock on the NYSE.

As required by NYSE rules, the Company intends to timely notify the NYSE of its intent to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement. The Company may regain compliance at any time during the six-month cure period, which ends on January 24, 2027, if, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period, the Company's common stock has a closing share price of at least $1.00 and an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on such date.

The Company's common stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE during the cure period, subject to the Company's continued compliance with the NYSE's other continued listing standards.

The Company intends to continue monitoring the market price of its common stock and is considering all available alternatives to regain compliance with the NYSE minimum share price requirement. Such alternatives may include a reverse stock split, subject to any required corporate approvals. The Company has not committed to any particular course of action at this time.
