Item 8.01.         Other Events.

On August 26, 2025, Veru Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and the minimum bid price matter is now closed. The letter was pursuant to a previous letter received on August 29, 2024 notifying the Company that it was not then in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement because its common stock had failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 or more for 30 consecutive business days and providing the Company with a period of 180 calendar days from the date of notification to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which was subsequently extended to August 25, 2025.
