Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
On September 10, 2024, GRI Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), indicating that the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The Letter does not have an immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a 180-calendar day period, or until March 10, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Minimum Bid Price Requirement will be met if the Company’s common stock has a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-calendar day period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend such 10‑day period. If the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day period, subject to satisfying the conditions in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. If, before the Compliance Date, the Company’s common stock has a closing bid price of $0.10 per share or less for ten consecutive trading days, the Staff will issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810 with respect to the Company’s common stock.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Company is monitoring the closing bid price of its common stock and will consider options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
