Item 3.01     Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed November 24, 2023, on November 22, 2023, GRI Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company did not comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b) (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”) based on the information provided in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. The Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until May 20, 2024, to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

On May 21, 2024, the Company received a staff determination letter (the “Determination Letter”) from the Staff notifying the Company that, despite reporting in excess of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, it had not regained compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement by May 20, 2024 when taking into account the Company’s historical burn rate. Accordingly, and as described in the Determination Letter, unless the Company timely requests an appeal of the determination by May 28, 2024, the Company’s securities will be subject to suspension/delisting. The Company intends to timely request an appeal of the determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”). The appeal will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing before the Panel, and the Company’s common stock will remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market pending the outcome of the hearing before the Panel. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Panel has the authority to grant an additional extension not to exceed 180 days from the Staff’s determination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company an additional extension period or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
