Other Events.

On April 27, 2026, Quince Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), received a letter from the Nadsaq Listing Qualifications department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The letter noted that for the 10 consecutive business days from April 13, 2026 through April 24, 2026, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been at $1.00 per share or greater. Accordingly, the Company has regained compliance with Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), and Nasdaq considers this matter closed.

As previously disclosed, the Company previously received a notice (the “MVLS Notice” and together with the Bid Price Notice the “Notices”) from the Staff that the Company’s market value of listed securities (“MVLS”) for the last 30 consecutive business days was less than the $50,000,000 required for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”). The Company has not yet regained compliance with the MVLS Requirement and has a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 14, 2026, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) or maintain compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.
