180 Life Sciences Granted an Additional Extension by Nasdaq Hearing Panel to Regain Compliance with Continued Listing Requirements

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 180 Life Sciences Corp. (NASDAQ: ATNF) (“180 Life Sciences” or the “Company”), today announced that it received notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (the “Hearings Panel”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Hearings Panel has granted the Company’s request for additional time to achieve compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules and demonstrate long-term compliance with the Equity Rule (defined below). Specifically, the Hearings Panel has agreed to provide the Company until September 20, 2024 to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and to allow the continued listing of the Company’s common stock and warrants on The Nasdaq Stock Market through such date, subject to the Company’s compliance with the Equity Rule on or prior to such date.

“We believe the additional extension granted by the Nasdaq Hearings Panel will allow us to finish executing on our plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement,” said Blair Jordan, Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

The Company is currently out of compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires listed issuers to maintain minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5 million (the “Equity Rule”) and does not meet any of the alternative standards in Listing Rule 5550(b). As previously disclosed, on November 15, 2023, the Listing Qualifications department of Nasdaq (the “Staff”) notified the Company that it did not comply with the Equity Rule and Nasdaq subsequently provided the Company an extension until May 13, 2024, to regain compliance with the Equity Rule.

Also as previously disclosed, the Company was unable to regain compliance with the Equity Rule prior to May 13, 2024, and as a result, on May 14, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined to suspend the trading of the Company’s common stock and public warrants at the opening of business on May 23, 2024 and to file a Form 25-NSE with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which would remove the Company’s common stock and public warrants from listing and registration on Nasdaq, unless the Company timely requested an appeal of the Staff’s determination. On May 17, 2024, the Company requested an appeal of the Staff’s delisting determination, and on May 20, 2024, the Staff advised the Company that the delisting action referenced in the Staff’s determination letter was stayed, pending the final written decision by the Hearings Panel. On July 2, 2024, the Company announced that the Hearings Panel had determined to grant the Company’s request to continue its listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to the Company achieving compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules and demonstrating long-term compliance with the Equity Rule on or before July 31, 2024. The Company subsequently submitted a request asking the Hearings Panel to reconsider their prior determination and the Hearings Panel extended the date the Company was required to achieve compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing rules and demonstrate long-term compliance with the Equity Rule, to September 30, 2024.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to meet the deadlines or conditions imposed by the Hearings Panel, or regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing. Additionally, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council may, on its own motion, determine to review any Hearing Panel decision within 45 calendar days after issuance of the written decision. If the Listing Council determines to review the Hearing Panel’s decision, it may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss or remand the decision to the Hearing Panel.
