Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - March 20, 2024) - InMed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: INM) ("InMed" or the "Company"), a leader in the manufacturing, development and commercialization of rare cannabinoids and proprietary cannabinoid analogs, today announced that it has received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that the Company has been granted an additional 180-day compliance period, or until September 16, 2024 (the "Extended Compliance Period"), to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement for the continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Rule").
Nasdaq's determination is based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company's written notice of its intention to consider all available options to regain compliance during the Extended Compliance Period, including, if necessary, effecting a reverse stock split.
If at any time prior to September 16, 2024, the closing bid price of the Company's ordinary shares is at least $1.00 per share for at least a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule and this matter will be closed.
As previously reported, in a notification letter dated September 19, 2023, Nasdaq had informed the Company that, based on the previous 30 consecutive business days, the Company's ordinary shares no longer met the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement as set forth in the Minimum Bid Price Rule. Therefore, in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until March 18, 2024, to regain compliance with such requirement.
This current notification from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's ordinary shares, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "INM."
