On July 13, 2023, Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that it had regained compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

As previously disclosed, on October 5, 2022, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because its common stock failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Company was initially given 180 days to regain compliance. On April 4, 2023, the Company received a 180 day extension.

 

To regain compliance, the Company was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive trading days. This requirement was met on July 12, 2023. As a result, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
