A Jan 21 BPD Type 2a FDA meeting and shareholder approvals were followed by a -13.97% move despite constructive developments. Subsequent FDA feedback and analytical data updates on Mar 25 and Mar 30 also saw modest declines. In contrast, leadership and scientific visibility events on Mar 5 and Mar 9 produced gains. Today’s listing-standard notice fits an ongoing theme of financial strain alongside scientific progress.

IRVINE, Calif., April 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AEON Biopharma, Inc. (“AEON” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: AEON), a biopharmaceutical company advancing ABP-450 (prabotulinumtoxinA) as a biosimilar to BOTOX® (onabotulinumtoxinA) to achieve full-label U.S. market entry, today announced that on March 31, 2026, it received a notice (the “Notice”) from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) indicating that, following its year-end financial results, the Company is not in compliance with an additional continued listing standard set forth in the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”).

As previously disclosed, on February 3, 2025, the Company received a notice (the “Original Notice”) that it was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide, which requires stockholders’ equity of at least $2.0 million if a listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years. On April 22, 2025, NYSE American accepted the Company’s plan (the “Plan”) to regain compliance and granted the Company until August 3, 2026 (the “Plan Period”) to do so.

The current Notice indicates that the Company is now also not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide, which requires stockholders’ equity of at least $4.0 million if a listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. This determination is based on the Company’s reported stockholders’ deficit of approximately $55 million as of December 31, 2025, and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years, as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 30, 2026.

This Notice reflects an expected progression of the Company’s previously disclosed compliance status following its 2025 year-end results and does not have an immediate impact on the Company’s current listing, Plan Period, or Plan to regain compliance. The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on NYSE American under the symbol “AEON,” subject to the Company’s compliance with other listing standards. The Company’s ticker will continue to carry a “.BC” indicator to denote that it is below compliance, and the Company will remain listed on NYSE American’s noncompliant issuers list.

The Company remains subject to the terms of the Original Notice and continues to execute against the NYSE American approved Plan to regain compliance with NYSE American continued listing standards within the Plan Period. If the Company does not regain compliance by August 3, 2026, or does not make progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan Period, NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings. The Company has a right to appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.

The Notice does not affect the Company’s business operations or its reporting obligations with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
