On July 6, 2021, Advaxis announced that it had entered into a merger agreement with Biosight, a privately held, Israel-based pharmaceutical company developing innovative therapeutics for hematological malignancies and disorders. On July 29, 2021, Advaxis attended a hearing before the Panel, to address the Company’s non-compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. By decision dated August 9, 2021, the Panel granted the Company an exception through November 22, 2021, to complete the merger with Biosight and evidence compliance with all applicable initial listing criteria.
Pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the combined company will be required to meet all applicable initial listing requirements for The Nasdaq Capital Market upon the closing of the merger, including the $4 per share price requirement. While there can be no assurance, the Company believes that it will be able to close the merger and demonstrate compliance with all applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market on or before December 20, 2021.
