Tiziana Life Sciences Ltd. Receives Nasdaq Deficiency Notice

NEW YORK, June 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Tiziana Life Sciences (Nasdaq: ) ("Tiziana" or the "Company"), a biotechnology company enabling breakthrough immunotherapies via novel routes of monoclonal antibody delivery, today disclosed the receipt of a notice (the “Notice”) on June 14, 2022 from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the Company is not currently in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of the Company’s common shares on the Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice indicated that, consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 days, or until December 12, 2022 (the “Compliance Deadline”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by having the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares meet or exceed $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days.

The Notice is only a notification of deficiency, not of imminent delisting, and has no current effect on the listing or trading of the Company's securities on the Nasdaq Global Market. Tiziana intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common shares and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Deadline, the Company may be afforded an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance.

The Company intends to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Listing Rules.
