Entero Therapeutics, Inc. Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Delayed Form 10-Q
BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 23, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Entero Therapeutics, Inc., (NASDAQ: ENTO), (“Entero Therapeutics” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of targeted, non-systemic therapies for gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, today announced that it received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) advising that, because the Company failed to timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2024 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the “Rule”). Nasdaq has informed the Company that it has until October 21, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. If Nasdaq approves the Company’s plan, it has the discretion to grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the due date of the Form 10-Q (or until February 17, 2025) to regain compliance.
As the Company previously reported, Forvis Mazars, LLP resigned as the Company’s independent registered public accountants on August 9, 2024. The Company is currently in the process of engaging a new independent registered public accounting firm and will use its best efforts to file the Form 10-Q prior to October 21, 2024. If the Company does not file the Form 10-Q in advance of the sixty-day deadline, it intends to timely file a plan to regain compliance with Nasdaq. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the listing requirements discussed above or otherwise satisfy the other Nasdaq listing criteria. This notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s securities on Nasdaq.
