Analysis

The stock moved -8.7% in the session following this news. A negative reaction despite acceptance of the NYSE American compliance plan would fit a pattern where VNRX has sometimes traded lower on otherwise constructive updates. The announcement confirmed ongoing non-compliance risk if goals are not met by August 6, 2027, alongside an already weak share price near the 52-week low and an effective resale registration that could add perceived overhang, all against a backdrop of going-concern language in recent filings.

5 terms
nyse american regulatory
"VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) ("Volition" ), a multi-national..."
NYSE American is a stock exchange where companies can list their shares to be bought and sold by investors. It functions like a marketplace, helping businesses raise money and providing investors with opportunities to buy ownership in these companies. Its role is important because it facilitates the trading of smaller or emerging companies, offering investors access to a broader range of investment options.
company guide regulatory
"standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE American Company Guide..."
A company guide is a concise profile that explains what a business does, how it makes money, and the key risks and opportunities investors should know. Think of it as a one-page briefing or travel brochure for the firm that helps readers quickly understand the company’s strategy, products, markets and financial outlook so they can compare it to other investments without digging through long reports.
continued listing standards regulatory
"the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards..."
Ongoing rules a stock exchange requires a listed company to meet to keep its shares trading publicly, such as minimum share price, market value, timely financial reports, and governance practices. Think of it as a membership checklist for a club: falling short can lead to warnings or removal from the exchange, which can sharply reduce liquidity, investor confidence, and a stock’s value. Investors watch these standards to gauge regulatory risk and the stability of their holdings.
plan of compliance regulatory
"the NYSE American LLC (the "NYSE American") accepted the Company's plan of compliance..."
A plan of compliance is a formal roadmap a company creates to fix regulatory or legal problems, listing the steps, timelines and responsible parties needed to meet official rules. Investors care because it indicates how quickly and effectively a company can stop penalties, restore trust and return to normal operations—much like a repair plan for a house that shows when rooms will be fixed and how much it will cost.
delisting proceedings regulatory
"then NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings."
Delisting proceedings are the formal steps taken to remove a company’s shares from a stock exchange, either because the company chose to leave or failed to meet rules like minimum share price, reporting or solvency requirements. For investors this matters because removal usually cuts trading access and liquidity, can sharply lower the share price, and makes it harder to buy, sell or get transparent information — similar to a product being pulled off supermarket shelves.

HENDERSON, Nev., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) ("Volition" or the "Company"), a multi-national epigenetics company, announced today that on April 22, 2026, the NYSE American LLC (the "NYSE American") accepted the Company's plan of compliance for continued listing on the exchange.

As previously reported, on February 6, 2026, the Company received a notice from the NYSE American stating that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide") requiring a company to have stockholders' equity of at least $2.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years, Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide requiring a company to have stockholders' equity of at least $4.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years, and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide requiring a company to have stockholders' equity at least $6.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.  The notice also indicated that the Company was not currently eligible for any exemption in Section 1003(a) of the Company Guide (including the exemption provided for companies with total value of market capitalization exceeding $50 million among other things).

The Company was required to submit a plan to the NYSE American by March 8, 2026, advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by August 6, 2027. The Company submitted a plan prior to the deadline.

On April 22, 2026, the Company received a notification (the "Acceptance Letter") from the NYSE American that the Company's previously submitted plan to regain compliance with the NYSE American's listing standards (the "Plan") was accepted. In the Acceptance Letter, the NYSE American granted the Company until August 6, 2027 (the "Plan Period") to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.

During the Plan Period, the Company will be subject to periodic review by the NYSE American on its progress with the goals and initiatives outlined in the Plan. The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide during the Plan Period. If the Company does not regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards by August 6, 2027, or if the Company does not make sufficient progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan Period, then NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings.

The Acceptance Letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's shares of common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during the Plan Period, subject to the Company's compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE American. The Acceptance Letter does not affect the Company's ongoing business operations or its reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
