| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On May 21, 2025, Biofrontera Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, because the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 was $469,000, the Company is no longer in compliance with the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000. Additionally, as of the date of the Notice, the Company did not meet either of the alternative requirements of maintaining a market value of listed securities of $35 million or achieving a net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years. As a result, as of the date of this Report, the Company does not satisfy Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(b).
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Company intends to evaluate available options to regain compliance and timely submit a compliance plan to Nasdaq. If the Company’s compliance plan is accepted, the Company may be granted up to 180 calendar days from May 21, 2025 to evidence compliance. If the plan is not accepted, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
