TORONTO, Nov. 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Greenbrook TMS Inc. (NASDAQ:GBNH) ("Greenbrook" or the "Company") today announced that it received notification from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") on November 14, 2023, that Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company's common shares (the "Common Shares") due to noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement and the MVLS Requirement (each as defined below). The Company received notification on May 16, 2023 that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)), as the bid price for the Common Shares on Nasdaq closed below US$1.00 (the "Minimum Bid Requirement") for 30 consecutive days from March 31, 2023 to May 12, 2023. The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until November 13, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.

In addition, as previously disclosed, the Company received notification on May 16, 2023 that it was not in compliance with the minimum market value of listed securities requirement (NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(2)), as the market value of the Company's listed securities had been below the minimum US$35 million required (the "MVLS Requirement") for 30 consecutive days from April 3, 2023 to May 15, 2023. The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until November 13, 2023, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. This deficiency serves as an additional and separate basis for delisting.

The Company intends to appeal the determination made by Nasdaq pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Nasdaq Listing Rules provide that the Company may request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"), and such hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company's securities pending the Panel's decision. There can be no assurance as to the success or outcome of the appeal.
