Item 1.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
Previously Disclosed Background
As previously disclosed, on June 23, 2023, Soligenix, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) because the Company’s common stock failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days. On December 21, 2023, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq stating that the Company had not complied with the Minimum Bid Price Rule and indicating that the Company’s common stock would be suspended from trading on Nasdaq unless the Company requested a hearing before a hearings panel by December 28, 2023.
On March 26, 2024, the Company had an oral hearing with a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the delisting determination, which stayed the trading suspension of the Company’s common stock pending a final written decision by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel and expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.
The Company effected a 1-for-16 reverse stock split on June 5, 2024 in order to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. Since the reverse stock split, the closing price for the Company’s common stock has been above $1.00 per share.
New Disclosure
On July 24, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq confirming that the Company had regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. Accordingly, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel determined to continue the listing of the Company’s common stock and closed the matter.
