XTL Biopharmaceuticals Receives Nasdaq Notification Regarding Minimum Bid Price Deficiency

Ramat Gan, Israel, Oct. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XTL Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. (Nasdaq: XTLB, TASE: XTLB.TA) ("XTL" or the "Company"), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company whose main assets consists of an IP portfolio relating to hCDR1 for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE, and Sjögren’s syndrome, or SS, today announced that the Company received a written notification (the "Notice") from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on October 18, 2023, notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in the Nasdaq Rules for continued listing on the Nasdaq.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the minimum bid price requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Based on the closing bid price of the Company's American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) for the 30 consecutive business days from September 6, 2023, to October 17, 2023, the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement.

The Notification Letter does not impact the Company's listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market at this time and the Company's ADSs continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "XTLB".  In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until April 15, 2024, to regain compliance. The Notice states that to regain compliance, the bid price for the ADSs must close at $1.00 per ADS or more (the "Minimum Bid Price") for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days during the compliance period ending April 15, 2024.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance during the compliance period, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify for this additional time, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse share split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, Nasdaq will inform the Company it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with Nasdaq's current listing requirements. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will not be able to cure this deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company's securities will be subject to delisting.

The Company will continuously monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs between now and April 15, 2024, and will evaluate its options to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) before such date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price or maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing standards.
