On May 23, 2025, Moleculin Biotech, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), which notified the Company that it does not presently comply with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Listing Rule”), which requires that the Company maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity, and that the Company also does not meet the alternatives of market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations set forth in the Listing Rule.

 

The Letter does not have any immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. If the Company’s plan is accepted, the Staff can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from May 23, 2025 to evidence compliance. After review of the plan of compliance, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company whether it accepts the plan, and if the Staff does not accept the plan, the Company would then be entitled to appeal the Staff’s determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel. There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, that such appeal would be successful.

 

 

 

 

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