As previously announced, on June 26, 2023, Altamira Therapeutics Ltd. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listings Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the minimum bid price per share for its common shares was below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that the Company did not meet the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Deficiency”). The Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days (the “Compliance Period”) to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the Compliance Period, the closing bid price per share of the Company’s common shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

On July 5, 2023, the Company disclosed that, in order to remediate the Bid Price Deficiency in the event that the Company’s common share market price continues to not meet the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement, the Company intended to effect a reverse share split on or prior to July 31, 2023.

As of the date of this report, the Company has determined that it will not effect a reverse share split on or prior to July 31, 2023, although the Company may decide to do so within the Compliance Period if the Bid Price Deficiency remains.
