Press Release

On July 2, 2025, SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company had received confirmation from the Nasdaq that the Company evidenced compliance with the $2.5 million Minimum Stockholders' Equity Requirement. A copy of such press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01 Other Events

The Company has confirmed in a letter dated July 1, 2025, that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). Nasdaq noted in its letter that to maintain compliance, the Company will have to raise additional funds, otherwise the Company will be below the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by the end of July.

As previously disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 11, 2025, the Company received a decision letter from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), granting the Company’s request to continue its listing on Nasdaq, subject to certain conditions. The Panel’s decision provided the Company with an exception until June 22, 2025, to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b).

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor until July 1, 2026. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff (the “Staff”) finds the Company again out of compliance with the Minimum Stockholders’ Equity Requirement, notwithstanding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company would not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and the Staff would not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor would the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff would issue a “Delist Determination Letter” and the Company would have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable.
