PainReform Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notification
Tel Aviv, Israel, May 31, 2024 — PainReform Ltd. (Nasdaq: PRFX) (“PainReform” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the reformulation of established therapeutics, today announced that the Company
received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications (the “Letter”), indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed
securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
Further, the Rules also provide the Company a compliance period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance. According to the Letter, the Company has from May 28, 2024, or until November 25, 2024, to
regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company can regain compliance, if at any time during this 180-day period, the closing bid price of its ordinary shares is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, in
which case the Company will be provided with a written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. In the event the Company does not regain compliance after the initial 180-day period, the Company may then be eligible for an
additional time if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide
written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.
If the Company cannot demonstrate compliance by the end of the 180-day period (or during any subsequent second compliance period), the Nasdaq’s staff will notify the Company that its ordinary
shares are subject to delisting.
The Letter has no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing or the trading of its ordinary shares, and during the grace period, as may be extended, PainReform’s ordinary shares will continue
to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “PRFX”.
