Will they do a R/S before Dec 3rd?
Because if they don't, they will be delisted from NQ. The standard stalling technique of requesting an extension and then requesting a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearing Panel has happened. There are no more ways to stave off delisting other than a R/S. On November 6, 2024, the Company received a decision letter from the Panel granting the Companyโs request to continue its listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to regaining compliance with the Bid Price Rule on or before December 3, 2024.

Some information from today's conference: CTXR and CTOR information: TwongStocks recap:
https://www.reddit.com/r/CTXR/comments/1gfn9qe/thinkequity_conference_recap_with_audio_link/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
If you have heard previous conferences, you've basically heard this one. Essentially followed the same script. Did not cover compliance or cash runway.
He did give a bit of info regarding the distribution of CTOR shares. I believe this is the first time he has verbalized the 6 month lockup. While that was stated in the SEC filings, this is the first I recall Leonard ever mentioning the lockup in a conference.
Our plan is to ultimately distribute the shares or dividend the shares to the Citius Pharma shareholders. We couldn't do that right away because we had a lockup on the shares for six months. So we got to wait until that lockup is over and then we'll start making the moves on doing the distribution.
He reiterated that during the summary at the end of the conference
And as I said before, our plan with Citius Oncology is to dividend and distribute those shares once that lockup period is over, which will provide a benefit in participation for the Citius shareholders.
There was a Q&A at the end. Unfortunately, the questions were only from the audience participants and couldn't be heard.
His first answer:
Yes, there is a specific date. It's in the third week.
Since I couldn't hear the question, no idea what this is referring to. My guess is that it is referencing the FDA meeting in November.
Second question was about the distribution of CTOR shares, based on his answer:
Do we have a what? No, not yet. Because we're waiting until the six month period is up, which will be in February and somewhere after that, we want to see what market conditions look like. We want to be careful how we do this. So it doesn't cause any negative pressure on Citius Pharma in the process r the other company as well. So we have to distribute this very, very carefully. It's got to look at market conditions when we're doing it.
I could tell you when I was at Cooper Labs, we did this. We spun off, it became CooperVision from CooperLabs. And we actually waited a whole year before we distributed those shares. And it was successful. And the reason it was successful for both companies is, and why it'll be successful for us, is because CooperVision was growing like a rocket at that time. And we anticipate we're gonna have good growth here. We think that within the first year, we'll have positive earnings for, uh, for this business. So that's the best time to, to really do a dividend distribution of shares.
Couple things about the potential distro.
They won't distribute until sometime after the lockup is over. Lockup expires in Feb, 6 months after the spinoff closed.
The distribution will be done very carefully and based on market conditions. Last thing they want to do is tank the stock.
They've mentioned that they'll be able to report CTOR's financials and revenues on CTXR's consolidated balance sheet, since CTXR owns 92% of CTOR. However, if they do a full distribution before the end of Q1 2025, they won't be able to do that. Once CTXR ceases to own more than 50% of CTOR, CTXR won't be able to report CTOR's financials on their consolidated financials. So it will be interesting to see the timing and how they plan to dividend those shares. If Lymphir is being launched in January and all of the shares are distributed in February, CTXR will never get the "benefit" of being able to report CTOR revenues.

Wow! What just happened? I think CTXR just bought itself for $750M. Given that it had only a $107M market cap, I think that is a pretty neat trick. Actually, it bought 90% of itself for $675M. What happened to the other 10%. Is this just a 10% dilution, or is this a 10% dilution where somebody gets skewered by a factor of (750/107 )/.9 = 7.8X. Now who would that be that would get skewered (if anyone)? CTXR is held; 7.8% by Insiders, 10.7% by Institutions, so I assume about 81.5% by Retail Investors. Must be the Institutional Investors and Insiders that are getting skewered if anyone... right? That is how this works, right? SPAC's are used by non-public companies that want to go public. This time it is a public company changing it's name. New use of an SPAC? Changing it's name and probably f%$&g you in the a%##. Deep down you can feel it, can't you? Notice they said that the agreement had to be ratified by TenX but they didn't say anything about the CTXR investors having to vote on this. How could that be? Ouch! Deeper! Cut that out! You should have known that something was fishy when the 100% efficacious Mino-Lok trial that should have ended a very long time ago went silent for so long. You have to wonder if the BLA submission issues were deliberate to tank the price and give time to set this (skewering?) up. As a wealthy manager once said to me after I invented something valuable for the company and then asked for a promotion, "You (retail investors) are used to not having any money. You don't need money". They on the other hand are very very rich, so they need your money more than you need it. It's all good.

A bit of news - Citius extends gains on advancing efforts to spin off oncology asset

Citius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (CTXR)
RDY
By: Dulan Lokuwithana, SA News Editor
After a 7% rise in the previous session, Citius Pharma (NASDAQ:CTXR) shares continued to gain in the pre-market Thursday after the company highlighted progress on its previously announced plans to spin off oncology candidate I/ONTAK into a standalone publicly-traded entity.
In a press release on Thursday, Citius (CTXR) said that in connection with the transaction, it has selected Maxim Group LLC as the financial advisor to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Citius Acquisition Corp.
Following the spinoff, Citius (CTXR) is expected to continue to trade on the Nasdaq under its current ticker CTXR.
I/ONTAK is a reformulation of the previously FDA-approved oncology treatment ONTAK which was available in the U.S. market from 1999 โ 2014 but voluntarily withdrawn later.
Citius (CTXR) and Dr. Reddy's (RDY) have a licensing deal for I/ONTAK, which is currently under FDA review for persistent or rare blood cancer recurrent cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTXR), with a decision expected by Sept. 28, 2023.
Read: Seeking Alpha contributor Bret Jensen issued a Hold rating on CTXR, noting that the upcoming FDA decision on I/ONTAK is a binary event.
