Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 7, 2025, Entero Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), due to the Company not holding an annual meeting of stockholders in 2024 within one year of the Company’s 2023 fiscal year end. The Company has until February 21, 2025, which is 45 days from the date of the Notice, to submit a plan to regain compliance and, if Nasdaq accepts the plan, it may grant up to 180 calendar days from the fiscal year end, or until June 30, 2025, for the Company to regain compliance for continued listing.
The Company intends to hold an annual meeting of shareholders as soon as practicable in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a). The Company is working towards scheduling such meeting and the meeting’s date will be provided on further notice. The Company will also be filing a proxy statement for such meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock. The Company will seek to regain compliance with all applicable Nasdaq requirements within the allotted compliance periods. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance periods, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) or will otherwise be able to maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
