MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nuwellis, Inc. (Nasdaq: NUWE), a medical technology company focused on transforming the lives of people with fluid overload (the “Company”), today announced The Nasdaq Hearings Panel (“Panel”) granted its request to continue its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market, subject to certain conditions. The decision was based on information the Company presented to the Panel during a hearing on July 23, 2024.

The letter received from the Panel stated that the continued listing was subject to the following: 1) on or before November 19, 2024, the Company shall file a Form 10-Q for the period ending September 30, 2024, describing the transactions undertaken by the Company to achieve compliance and demonstrate long-term compliance with the minimum stockholder Equity Rule and provide an indication of its equity following those transactions, 2) on or before November 19, 2024, the Company must provide the Panel with income projections for the next 12 months, with all underlying assumptions clearly stated, and 3) on or before November 19, 2024, the Company shall demonstrate compliance with the minimum Bid Price Rule.

The letter also stated that it is a requirement during the exception period that the Company provide prompt notification of any significant events that occur during this time that may affect the Company’s compliance with Nasdaq requirements. This includes, but is not limited to, any event that may call into question the Company’s ability to meet the terms of the exception granted. The Panel reserves the right to reconsider the terms of this exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on the Exchange inadvisable or unwarranted.
