FORM 8-K

| Item 3.01 | | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On March 5, 2024, the Company received a written notice from the staff of NYSE Regulation notifying the Company that NYSE Regulation has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock (NYSE: BFX) from the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). Trading in the Company’s common stock on the NYSE was suspended immediately.
NYSE Regulation reached its decision that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 802.01D of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual after the Company disclosed that the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have voluntarily initiated a Chapter 11 proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey. In reaching its delisting determination, NYSE Regulation noted the uncertainty as to the ultimate effect of this process on the value of the Company’s common stock.
NYSE Regulation indicated that it will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to delist the Company’s common stock upon completion of all applicable procedures, including any appeal by the Company of the NYSE Regulation staff’s decision.
The Company is under no obligation to develop or maintain a market in the common stock. The Company cannot provide assurance that its common stock will trade on the OTC Pink Marketplace or any other market, that brokers will provide public quotes of the Company's common stock, that a market for the Company's common stock will develop or be maintained, or that the trading volume of the Company's common stock will be sufficient enough to generate an efficient trading market. Holders of common stock may not be able to sell or otherwise transfer such common stock.

All of these forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may change at any time. Factors that could cause the Company’s actual expectations to differ materially from these forward-looking statements also include: weaker than expected demand for new or existing products; our ability to timely acquire inventory that meets our quality control standards from sole source foreign manufacturers at acceptable costs; risks associated with current and potential delays, work stoppages, or supply chain disruptions, including shipping delays due to the severe shortage of shipping containers; an inability to pass along or otherwise mitigate the impact of raw material price increases and other cost pressures, including unfavorable currency exchange rates and increased shipping costs; experiencing delays and/or greater than anticipated costs in connection with launch of new products, entry into new markets, or strategic initiatives; our ability to hire and retain key management personnel; changes in consumer fitness trends; changes in the media consumption habits of our target consumers or the effectiveness of our media advertising; a decline in consumer spending due to unfavorable economic conditions; risks related to the impact on our business of the COVID-19 pandemic or similar public health crises; softness in the retail marketplace; availability and timing of capital for financing our strategic initiatives, including being able to raise capital on favorable terms or at all; changes in the financial markets, including changes in credit markets and interest rates that affect our ability to access those markets on favorable terms and the impact of any future impairment.
