TransCode Therapeutics Secures Nasdaq Listing Status After Meeting Critical Requirements
TransCode shares to remain listed on Nasdaq
The Nasdaq notice stated that if, within the one-year monitoring period, the Nasdaq Staff finds the Company is again out of compliance with any Listing Rule of the Exchange, notwithstanding Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to any deficiency and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to any deficiency, nor will the Staff be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to any deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, the Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Hearings Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C). The Company’s securities may at that time be delisted from Nasdaq.
“Regaining compliance with Nasdaq’s listing standards is an encouraging start to what we believe will be an important year for TransCode. Advancing our lead therapeutic candidate, TTX-MC138, in the clinic positions us to obtain critical information regarding the safety and tolerability of TTX-MC138 in patients and helps validate our drug design engine intended to broadly enable RNA therapeutics for cancer. We believe TransCode is poised to reach key milestones in the coming year,” said Tom Fitzgerald, TransCode’s Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
