Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously disclosed, on September 12, 2024, CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Staff of Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the previous 30 consecutive business days the Company’s common stock had not maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Bid Price Rule”) required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule. However, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company was not eligible for any compliance period specified in Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) because the Company effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one. On October 30, 2024, the Company was provided a temporary exception to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule until March 11, 2025.
On March 31, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that it had regained compliance with Bid Price Rule.
Pursuant to the letter, in application of Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from the date of the letter. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Staff finds the Company again out of compliance with the Bid Price Rule that was the subject of the exception, notwithstanding Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, Staff will issue a delist determination letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing.
