Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, on February 7, 2025, Applied Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter (the “Bid Price Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), has been below the minimum $1.00 per share required (the “Bid Price Requirement”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was given 180 calendar days, or until August 6, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

On August 13, 2025, the Company received a notice (the “Extension Notice”) from Nasdaq informing the Company that Nasdaq has granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until February 2, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In connection with the Extension Notice, the listing of the Common Stock will be transferred from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, effective as of August 15, 2025. The Extension Notice has no other immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock.

The Company intends to continue actively monitor the bid price for its Common Stock between now and February 2, 2026, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. These options include, but are not limited to, effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, to attempt to regain compliance. If at any time before February 2, 2026, the closing bid price of the Common Stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance within the additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or that the Common Stock will not be delisted from Nasdaq.
