(the “Company”) has received a notice from the NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) stating that the NYSE Regulation has determined that the Company is no longer suitable for listing pursuant to Section 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide due to the low selling price of the Company’s Common Stock. NYSE American commenced delisting proceedings in connection with the foregoing determination, and trading the Company’s common stock was suspended on May 7, 2025. From May 8, 2025 through June 6, 2025, the Company’s common stock traded on the Pink Market of the OTC Markets Group under the trading symbol “PTNT”. Since June 9, 2025, the Company’s common stock has traded on the OCTQB Market of the OTC Markets Group under the trading symbol “PTNT”.

On July 7, 2025, Palatin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notification from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) stating that a Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Panel”) of the Exchange’s Committee for Review (the “Committee for Review”) had unanimously determined to affirm the decision of the staff of NYSE American to initiate delisting proceedings of the Company’s common stock pursuant to Sections 1003(a) and 1003(f)(v) of the NYSE American Company Guide. A hearing on the proposed delisting was held before the Panel on June 18, 2025.
