Item 8.01 Other Events.

On behalf of Arax Holdings Corp. (the "Registrant"), this current report on Form 8-K is furnished to disclose recent updates regarding the delay in completing the review of the Registrant's quarterly report for the second quarter ending April 30, 2024, and the shift of the Registrant’s stock to the OTC Expert Markets.

The recent shift of Arax Holdings Corp. (ARAT) stock to the OTC Expert Market has caused some confusion among investors, but it's important to clarify what this means and what it doesn't. The move to the Expert Market occurred because the company's 10-Q filing is not yet ready. This delay is largely due to the complications arising from dealing with a previously sanctioned auditor by the SEC, leaving over 350 companies without proper financial records. Arax Holdings has since engaged a new auditor, who is tasked with the monumental job of redoing all previous filings and audits. This process is understandably time-consuming

Despite this situation, it's crucial to note that Arax Holdings Corp. is *not* delisted. The company's stock is still tradable and listed, but because current financial information isn't available, the OTC Markets has restricted public price quotes. Instead, pricing information is now accessible only to brokers and market makers. This action ensures some level of market transparency even while the company's filings are being updated. Investors can still buy or sell ARAT stock, but should consult with their brokers for the most up-to-date pricing and trading information.

For further context, the Expert Market allows for limited quoting and is different from the Grey Market, where there are no public quotes at all. This means that while public visibility is reduced, trading activity continues in a regulated environment

The Registrant is working diligently with the auditors to provide an accurate and complete report that can be relied upon by the public. Shareholders and interested parties may direct inquiries or comments to investors@arax.cc.
