Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 16, 2026, Atlantic American Corporation (the “Company”) received a Staff Delisting Determination (the “Staff
Determination”) from the listing qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that Nasdaq has initiated a process to delist the Company’s common stock as a result of the Company not being in compliance with
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”), which requires companies with securities listed on Nasdaq to timely file all required periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Staff Determination was issued because the
Company had not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”) and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026 (collectively, the “Delinquent
Reports”) by October 12, 2026, which was the last day of the 180‑day extension period that had been previously granted by Nasdaq for the Company to regain compliance with the Rule.
Subsequent to the Company’s receipt of the Staff Determination, the Company filed the 2025 Form 10-K with the SEC on October
16, 2026. The Company continues to work diligently, and is making progress, toward filing the remaining Delinquent Reports and regaining compliance with the Rule as promptly as practicable.
The Company intends to appeal the Staff Determination by timely requesting a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the
“Hearings Panel”), which request must be made by October 23, 2026. According to the Staff Determination, hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30 to 45 days after the date of a company’s hearing request. The hearing request will
automatically stay the suspension of trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq for a period of 15 days from the date of the request. In connection with its request for a hearing, the Company also intends to request that the suspension of
trading be further stayed pending the hearing process. However, there can be no assurance that the Hearings Panel will grant the Company an extended stay pending the hearing process. In the event that the Hearings Panel determines not to grant the
Company an extended stay, the Company’s common stock would be suspended from trading at the end of the 15-day automatic stay period and would remain suspended unless the Hearings Panel, in its written decision issued after the hearing, determines
to reinstate the trading of the Company’s common stock.
On October 22, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Staff Determination. A copy of the press
release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Staff Determination was issued because the Company had not filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10‑K”) and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2026 and
