Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On September 30, 2024, Carmell Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 31 consecutive business days from August 15, 2024 to September 27, 2024, the Company no longer meets the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”).

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Nasdaq has provided the Company with 180 calendar days, or until March 31, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during this 180-day period, after which Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance to the Company and the matter will be closed. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date, Nasdaq may grant the Company an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement if the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency or if the Company does not qualify for the second compliance period or fails to regain compliance during the second 180-day compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal any such delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock or redeemable warrants, which will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “CTCX” and “CTCXW”, respectively, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company is considering available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
