Alzamend Neuro Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Standards
October 15 2024 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALZN) (“Alzamend”), a
clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing
novel products for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
(“Alzheimer’s”), bipolar disorder (“BD”), major
depressive disorder (“MDD”) and post-traumatic stress
disorder (“PTSD”), today announced that it has received
formal written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC’s Office of
General Counsel (“Nasdaq”) that Alzamend has demonstrated
compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement as set
forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule”),
which requires a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2,500,000.
As previously reported, on September 26, 2023, Alzamend was
notified by Nasdaq that it did not meet the minimum market value of
listed securities requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq under
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), or any other continued listing
standard, such as the Equity Rule, and was provided 180 calendar
days, or until March 25, 2024, to regain compliance. Alzamend had
not regained compliance by March 25, 2024, and Nasdaq determined to
delist Alzamend’s common stock. Alzamend appealed the delisting
determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). In May
2024, the Panel granted Alzamend’s request to continue its listing
on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to Alzamend demonstrating
compliance, on or before September 23, 2024, with the Equity Rule
and satisfying all applicable requirements for continued listing on
Nasdaq.
Earlier this year, Alzamend entered into a securities purchase
agreement to provide for the sale of $25 million of Alzamend’s
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred”)
over a period of time. To date, the investor has purchased $8
million of Series A Preferred, with (i) an additional $2 million to
be funded within the next 30 days, as Alzamend has achieved the
milestones for such payment and (ii) the investor is obligated to
purchase $1 million of Series A Preferred each month going forward,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase
agreement, until January 2026. Accordingly, on October 14, 2024,
the Panel provided Alzamend with written notice that it had
regained compliance with the Equity Rule and determined to continue
the listing of Alzamend’s securities on Nasdaq.
Stephan Jackman, CEO of Alzamend, stated, “We are very pleased
to announce that Alzamend has regained compliance with Nasdaq’s
listing standards. We presented a strategic plan of compliance to
the Panel at our hearing in May, which we have successfully
executed upon. Regaining compliance with Nasdaq listing standards
was an important goal for Alzamend, and we appreciate the Panel’s
confirmation that we were able to deliver on our commitment. We
remain focused on moving forward with our five phase II clinical
trials of AL001 in partnership with Massachusetts General Hospital,
which we intend to initiate in 2025.”
About Alzamend Neuro
Alzamend Neuro is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company
focused on developing novel products for the treatment of
Alzheimer’s, BD, MDD and PTSD. Our mission is to rapidly develop
and market safe and effective treatments. Our current pipeline
consists of two novel therapeutic drug candidates, AL001 - a
patented ionic cocrystal technology delivering lithium via a
therapeutic combination of lithium, salicylate and L-proline, and
ALZN002 - a patented method using a mutant-peptide sensitized cell
as a cell-based therapeutic vaccine that seeks to restore the
ability of a patient’s immunological system to combat Alzheimer’s
by removing beta-amyloid from the brain. The latter is a
second-generation active-immunity approach designed to mitigate the
disadvantages of approved passive immunity marketed antibody
products, particularly by reducing the required frequency and costs
of dosing associated with antibody products. Both of our product
candidates are licensed from the University of South Florida
Research Foundation, Inc. pursuant to royalty-bearing exclusive
worldwide licenses.
