Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. Announces Intention to Implement Voluntary Suspension from Reporting Requirements Under Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc. (OTC Pink: IMPM), (the "Company" or "Impac"), today announced that following the delisting of its common stock by the NYSE American, LLC on April 27, 2023, its Board of Directors (“Board”) has approved the voluntarily suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company intends to file a Form 15 to immediately effect the suspension of its reporting obligations, including with respect to annual, quarterly, and current report filing obligations, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 10, 2023.

The Company’s Board has determined that the elimination of reporting requirements under the Exchange Act will be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board's decision was based on numerous factors including eliminating the time and expense associated with its public reporting and compliance requirements under the Exchange Act, which include, but are not limited to, legal and accounting fees and SOX compliance fees.

The Company has received a waiver from all the holders of the Company’s Convertible Promissory Notes due 2025 with respect to the Company’s obligation to maintain its reporting status under the Exchange Act.

The Company’s common stock currently trades on the OTC Pink under the symbol “IMPM”. The Company intends to continue to comply with the listing and reporting requirements required by the OTC Pink to maintain its listing on such platform. Such reporting requirements include, at a minimum, the reporting of annual financial statements.
