Item 3.01Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

 

On January 30, 2023, Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice in the form of a letter (“Deficiency Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until July 31, 2023, to regain compliance. The Deficiency Letter states that to regain compliance, the bid price for the Company’s common stock must close at $1.00 per share or more (the “Minimum Bid Price”) for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period ending July 31, 2023. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance within this 180-day period, the Company may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days if it 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 Minimum Bid Price, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal any such delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

 

The Deficiency Letter has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and the Company’s common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ALZN.”

 

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock between now and July 31, 2023 and may, if appropriate, evaluate available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price requirement. While the Company is exercising diligent efforts to maintain the listing of its common stock on Nasdaq, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing standards.
