On March 22, 2024, Gyre Therapeutics, Inc. (the “
Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
(“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that it had regained compliance with the audit committee composition requirements as set forth in
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 for continued listing on
The Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously disclosed, on January 17, 2024, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605 because its Audit Committee was not comprised of at least three “independent directors” (as defined in
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2)).
The Company was initially given 180 days to regain compliance.
To regain compliance, the Company was required to identify and select a member of the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) who qualifies as
“independent” and would meet the audit committee criteria set forth in
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605. This requirement was met on March 20, 2024, when the Board appointed Rodney Nussbaum as a member of the
Audit Committee of the Board.
