Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On May 19, 2025, Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Notice”) based on the information provided in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires that companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market with a market value of listed securities of less than $35,000,000 and annual net income of less than $500,000 maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the "Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”).
In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company was provided 45 calendar days, or until July 3, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement (the "Compliance Plan”). If the Compliance Plan is determined to be acceptable to the Staff, the Staff would have the discretion to grant the Company an extension of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. There can be no assurance that the Compliance Plan will be accepted or that, if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance. The Notice has no immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with other continued listing requirements. If the Staff does not accept the Compliance Plan, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that the Compliance Plan has been rejected and that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel.
