Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 14, 2023, Celularity Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the Listing Qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) because the closing bid price for the Company’s Class A common stock has fallen below $1.00 per share for the last 30 consecutive business days. Nasdaq’s notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “CELU.”
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until September 11, 2023, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s Class A common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to September 11, 2023. If the Company does not regain compliance by September 11, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day grace period if the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its Class A common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
