FOSTER CITY, Calif., June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollomics Inc. (NASDAQ:APLM) ("Apollomics" or the "Company"), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing multiple oncology drug candidates to address difficult-to-treat and treatment-resistant cancers, today announced that it has received a notice (the "Notice") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") dated June 18, 2026 stating that the Company is not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities ("MVLS") of $35 million as set forth under Nasdaq Listing Rule for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) requires companies to maintain a minimum MVLS of $35 million, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) specifies that a deficiency occurs if the MVLS falls below this threshold for 30 consecutive business days. Based on the Company's MVLS for the 30 consecutive business days from May 6, 2026, to June 17, 2026, the Company no longer meets this requirement. The Notice further states that the Company also does not meet the alternative requirements under Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(b)(1) and 5550(b)(3).

According to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has a 180-calendar-day compliance period to regain compliance, which expires on December 15, 2026. If, during this period, the Company's MVLS closes at or above $35 million for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (which may be subject to extension in Nasdaq’s discretion), Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of its compliance, and the matter will be closed.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting.

The Notice has no immediate effect as to the listing of the Company's securities and the Company's securities continue to trade on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance.

Corporate: Updates Rights for Vebreltinib (APL-101) in Asia

In a separate corporate development, effective June 11, 2026, Apollomics formally terminated its Collaboration and License Agreement with Launxp International Co., Ltd. due to Launxp’s failure to cure a material breach of its obligations, specifically the failure to remit the remaining upfront payment balance of $3.8 million along with applicable interest. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, all licenses previously granted to Launxp have automatically and immediately terminated.

Following Launxp’s public expression of disagreement with the termination, Apollomics formally initiated the contractually mandated dispute resolution process on June 18, 2026. This process commences with a 30-day internal negotiation period, which, if unresolved, will be followed by a subsequent escalation to the Executive Officers of both parties for further resolution. Apollomics is pursuing the recovery of the unpaid $3.8 million and associated interest, and intends to defend its termination of the agreement and its rights.

As a result of this termination, Apollomics has regained the previously licensed rights to its lead clinical asset, vebreltinib (APL-101), in Asia. Together with the rights already retained by the Company, Apollomics now holds all global rights to the asset outside of Mainland China and Macau. With this reversion, Apollomics reconsolidates its ownership across the U.S., Europe, and the broader Asia-Pacific region. This consolidated ownership allows the Company to exercise unencumbered strategic control over vebreltinib’s clinical development and future commercialization in the U.S., Europe, and the broader Asia-Pacific region, maximizing Apollomics' flexibility to pursue future global partnerships and value-creating opportunities.
