Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously reported by Curanex Pharmaceuticals Inc (the "Company"), on November 5, 2025, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days the closing bid price for its common stock was below $1.00 per share, which is the minimum closing bid price (the "Minimum Bid Price") required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Notice"). The Notice indicated that in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until May 4, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement.
On May 5, 2026, Nasdaq notified the Company that although the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, the Company is eligible to receive an additional 180 calendar day period or until November 2, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Nasdaq's determination to grant the Company an additional 180 calendar day period was based on the Company's satisfaction of the continued listing requirements for the market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Additionally, the Company has provided Nasdaq with written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by implementing a reverse stock split, if necessary.
If, at any time during this additional compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of compliance, and this matter will be closed. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by November 2, 2026, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company's securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq's determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Company is currently monitoring the closing bid price of its common stock and will consider available options, including a reverse stock split, if appropriate, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by November 2, 2026. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, even if it maintains compliance with other listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
