On May 21, 2024, Avenue Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received formal notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that the Company has evidenced compliance with all applicable criteria for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Nasdaq”), including the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”). As a result, the previously disclosed listing matter has been closed.

 

Notwithstanding the closing of the matter, the Company was also notified that it will remain subject to a “Panel Monitor,” as that term is defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), for a period of one year, through May 21, 2025. If, during the term of the Panel Monitor, the Company does not satisfy the Equity Rule, the Company will not be provided with the opportunity to submit a compliance plan for the Listing Qualifications Staff’s review. The Company will instead be required to request a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to address the deficiency, with such request staying any further action with respect to the Company’s listing on Nasdaq pending completion of the hearing process.

 

 

 

 

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