Foremost Clean Energy Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Requirement

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foremost Clean Energy Ltd. (NASDAQ:FMST) (CSE:FAT) ("Foremost" or the "Company") announces that on April 7, 2025, it received a notification letter (the "Notification Letter") from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") indicating that the Company is not currently in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). This rule requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share, and the Company's common shares have closed below this threshold for 31 consecutive business days from February 21, 2025, to April 4, 2025.

The Notification Letter serves as a formal notice of deficiency but does not immediately affect the listing or trading of Foremost's common shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "FMST."

Compliance Period and Next Steps

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Foremost has been granted a 180-calendar day compliance period, ending on October 6, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To achieve compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common shares must meet or exceed US$1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this period.

If Foremost does not regain compliance by October 6, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day grace period, provided it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares (US$1 million) and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the bid price requirement. The Company would also need to notify Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency, which may include implementing a reverse stock split if necessary.

Foremost's management is evaluating all available options to address the bid price deficiency and remains committed to maintaining its Nasdaq listing. The Company's business operations, financial condition, and corporate strategy are unaffected by this notification.

Required Disclosure

As required by Nasdaq rules, Foremost is disclosing this notification within four business days of receipt. The Company will continue to monitor its bid price and take appropriate measures to regain compliance within the allotted timeframe
