Exhibit 99.1

SINTX Technologies Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Bid Price Requirement

Salt Lake City, Utah. June 12, 2024 – SINTX Technologies, Inc. (SINTX) (www.sintx.com) (NASDAQ: SINT; “SINTX” or the “Company”), a manufacturer and developer of advanced ceramic materials and related technologies, today announced that on June 11, 2024, the Company received formal notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company has evidenced compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). Accordingly, the previously announced listing matter has been closed.

The Company remains subject to a “Mandatory Panel Monitor,” as that term is defined in Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), for a period of one year from June 11, 2024. If, within the one-year period, the Company fails to satisfy the minimum $1.00 closing bid price threshold for 30 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will issue a delist determination rather than provide the Company with a grace period to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. In that event, the Company would have the opportunity to request a new hearing to address the deficiency.
