| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On March 20, 2026, Alzamend Neuro, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2026 (the “Form 10-Q”), did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) for the Nasdaq Capital Market, which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2.5 million. As reported on its Form 10-Q, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of January 31, 2026 was approximately $2.2 million. The Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ALZN.”
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has been provided an initial period of 45 calendar days, or until May 4, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance. Subsequent to the receipt of the Letter, and prior to that deadline, the Company will submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) to Nasdaq. If the Company’s compliance plan is accepted by Nasdaq, then Nasdaq may, in its discretion, grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Letter, or until September 16, 2026, to evidence compliance.
The Company is currently evaluating various courses of action to regain compliance and plans to timely submit its plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). There can be no assurance that the Company’s plan will be accepted or that if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is not accepted, or if it is and the Company does not regain compliance within 180 days from the date of the Letter, or if the Company fails to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s common stock will become subject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules would permit the Company to appeal the decision to reject the Company’s proposed compliance plan or any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.
Forward-Looking Statements
This current report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “projects,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “potential,” “promise” or similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements in this current report include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s intent or ability to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement or Voting Rights Deficiency and the Company’s ability to appeal any Staff Delisting Determination letter. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on the Company’s current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans, strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, without limitation, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet the stockholders’ equity requirement or cure the Voting Rights Deficiency during any compliance period or otherwise in the future, otherwise meet Nasdaq compliance standards, that Nasdaq will grant the Company any relief from delisting as necessary or whether the Company can agree to or ultimately meet applicable Nasdaq requirements for any such relief, that the Company has and expects to continue to incur significant losses and negative cash flow, the Company’s need for additional funding, which may not be available, the absence of any significant revenue generated from the Company’s core business of the nascent Bitnile.com platform, the Company’s evolving business model, and the other important factors described under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 14, 2023 and its other filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this current report is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by applicable law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
