Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On October 12, 2022, Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 (the “Form 10-Q”), did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A) for the Nasdaq Global Market, which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $10.0 million. As reported on its Form 10-Q, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2022 was approximately $8.0 million.
The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market and the Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “ALLR”. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until November 26, 2022, to submit a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(1)(A). If the Company’s compliance plan is accepted by Nasdaq, then Nasdaq may, in its discretion, grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until April 10, 2023, to evidence compliance. If Nasdaq does not accept the Company’s plan, then the Company will have the opportunity to appeal that decision to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.
The Company is currently evaluating various alternative courses of action to regain compliance, and the Company intends to submit a plan with Nasdaq before November 26, 2022 to maintain its Nasdaq listing. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements. In addition, the Company is considering to transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s satisfaction of the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements.
