Renalytix Fights Nasdaq Delisting with Strategic Plan, Trading Temporarily Safe

Renalytix plc (NASDAQ:RNLX) (LSE: RENX) announces that it has formally submitted a hearing request to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel"), which request has now stayed the suspension of the Company's securities pending the Panel's decision as described below. Throughout the hearings process, pending the Panel's decision, the Company's American Depositary Shares ("ADSs") will continue trading on The Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "RNLX."
 

At the Panel hearing, the Company intends to present a strategic plan to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. However, there can be no assurance that the Company's plan will be accepted by the Panel or that, if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. If the Company's ADSs are delisted, it could be more difficult to buy or sell the Company's ADSs or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company's ADSs could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair the Company's ability to raise capital.

As previously disclosed, on June 25, 2024, the Company received written notice on June 21, 2024, from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it has been out of compliance with Nasdaq's minimum closing bid price requirement, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), for the Company's ADSs and the requirement to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities of $50,000,000 for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A). Accordingly, the Company has submitted the Nasdaq hearing request, which has automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing. In that regard, pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Panel has the authority to grant an extension not to exceed 180 days from the date of the Nasdaq delisting notice.
