Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on March 12, 2024, Bio-Path Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of at least $2,500,000 for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). On April 26, 2024, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(A), the Company submitted a plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance (the “Compliance Plan”) with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

On June 12, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq granting an extension (the “Extension Letter”) until September 8, 2024 to demonstrate compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement in accordance with the terms of the Extension Letter. If the Company does not demonstrate compliance in accordance with the Extension Letter, the Company may be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). If the Company timely appeals, it would remain listed pending the Panel’s decision.

The Company intends to continue making efforts to implement the Compliance Plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement within the allotted extension period. If the Company is unsuccessful in regaining compliance within the allotted extension period and appeals the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the Panel, there can be no assurance that such appeal will be successful.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has duly caused this Current Report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
