FLORHAM PARK, N.J., Nov. 24, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Celularity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELU) (the “Company”), a biotechnology company developing allogeneic cell therapies and biomaterial products, announced today that on November 21, 2023, the Company received notification from the Listing Qualifications department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements of the Company’s failure to timely file a Form 10-Q for the third quarter of 2023.
The Company is required to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance within 60 calendar days, or by January 22, 2024, and if accepted, the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the Q3 2023 Form 10-Q due date, or until May 20, 2024, to implement the plan to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit a plan to Nasdaq within the 60-day period and will evaluate available options to regain compliance within the compliance period. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance within the compliance period, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements. As previously disclosed, the Company is currently not in compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) and has until March 11, 2024, to regain compliance. If the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must be completed no later than 10 business days prior to March 11, 2024 to timely regain compliance. If it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notification that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting.
