Centogene N.V. (Nasdaq: CNTG) (“Centogene”, “we”, or the
“Company”), the essential life science partner for data-driven
answers in rare and neurodegenerative diseases, today announced
that it received a notification letter dated March 27, 2024, from
the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Listing Qualifications Department,
indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum
bid price requirement set forth in Rule 5450(a)(1) of the Nasdaq
Listing Rules since the closing bid price for the Company's common
shares listed on Nasdaq was below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive
business days (from February 12 through March 26, 2024). Nasdaq
Rule 5450(a)(1) requires the shares to maintain a minimum bid price
of US$1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that
failure to meet such a requirement exists when the bid price of the
shares is below US$1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business
days.
In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) of the Nasdaq
Listing Rules, the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from
the date of notification to regain compliance with the minimum bid
price requirement. If at any time during the 180-calendar day
period, the bid price of the shares closes at or above US$1.00 per
share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will
provide written notification that the Company has achieved
compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and will consider
such deficiency matter closed.
The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its
common shares and will evaluate all available options to resolve
the deficiency and regain compliance with Nasdaq Rule
5450(a)(1).

answers to patients, physicians, and pharma companies for rare and
neurodegenerative diseases. We integrate multiomic technologies
with the CENTOGENE Biodatabank – providing dimensional analysis to
guide the next generation of precision medicine. Our unique

active physicians. Our ISO, CAP, and CLIA certified multiomic
reference laboratories in Germany utilize Phenomic, Genomic,
Transcriptomic, Epigenomic, Proteomic, and Metabolomic datasets.
This data is captured in our CENTOGENE Biodatabank, with over
800,000 patients represented from over 120 highly diverse
countries, over 70% of whom are of non-European descent. To date,
the CENTOGENE Biodatabank has contributed to generating novel
insights for more than 285 peer-reviewed publications.
By translating our data and expertise into tangible insights, we
have supported over 50 collaborations with pharma partners.
Together, we accelerate and de-risk drug discovery, development,
