Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On April 29, 2024, Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the preceding 31 consecutive business days (March 14, 2024 through April 26, 2024), the Company’s American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per ADS as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s ADSs and the ADSs will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “QNRX.”

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until October 28, 2024, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance may be achieved without further action if the closing bid price of the Company’s ADSs is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case Nasdaq will notify the Company if it determines it is in compliance and the matter will be closed; however Nasdaq may require the closing bid price to equal or to exceed the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for more than 10 consecutive business days before determining that a company complies.

 

If, however, the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by October 28, 2024, the Company may be eligible for additional time to comply. In order to be eligible for such additional time, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held ADSs and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and must notify Nasdaq in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.

 

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its ADSs and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements.
