Item 8.01. Other Events
On September 4, 2025, Salarius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Salarius”) received a letter from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Hearings Panel”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying Salarius that it has regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”), as required by the Hearings Panel. To regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, Salarius’ common stock was required to maintain a closing bid price of $1.00 per share or more for at least 10 consecutive business days.
Nasdaq further notified Salarius that it will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor for a period of one year from September 4, 2025. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Listing Qualifications Staff finds Salarius out of compliance with the Bid Price Rule that was the subject of the exception, the Staff will issue a delisting determination letter and Salarius will have the opportunity to request a hearing with the Hearings Panel.
The letter notes that Salarius remains noncompliant with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Standard”) and has until October 20, 2025 to achieve compliance with the Equity Standard per the Hearings Panel’s previously announced granting of Salarius’ extension request.
On September 9, 2025, Salarius issued a press release announcing that that it had regained compliance with the Bid Price Rule. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
