Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously disclosed, on September 6, 2023, Cadrenal Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”),. The notification received had no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements.
On March 5, 2024, the Company received written notification from Nasdaq granting the Company's request for a 180-day extension or until September 3, 2024 to regain compliance with the Rule. Compliance is generally achieved by meeting the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Price Requirement”) for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. However, the Staff may, in its discretion, require a Company to satisfy the applicable Price Requirement for a period in excess of 10 consecutive business days, but generally no more than 20 consecutive business days, before determining that the Company has demonstrated an ability to maintain long-term compliance.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Price Requirement by September 3, 2024, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the relevant delisting determination to a hearings panel pursuant to the procedures set forth in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. However, there can be no assurance, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by Nasdaq to the hearings panel, that such appeal would be successful.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and, if appropriate, consider further available options to regain compliance with the Rule, including effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
Nasdaq’s extension notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "CVKD".
