Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Aprea Therapeutics, Inc. received a notification from Nasdaq on July 23, 2026 that it qualifies for an additional 180-day Second Compliance Period, through January 19, 2027, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market Minimum Bid Price Requirement of at least $1.00 per share under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The company had previously been given until July 22, 2026 to restore compliance after its common stock fell below the $1.00 minimum bid price. If at any time during the Second Compliance Period the closing bid price of the common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will confirm compliance. If compliance is not demonstrated by January 19, 2027, Nasdaq states it will issue a notice of delisting, which Aprea could then appeal to a hearings panel.

Minimum Bid Price Requirement regulatory
"regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing"
A minimum bid price requirement is a rule that a stock must trade above a set price for a specified period to stay listed on an exchange. It matters to investors because falling below that threshold can trigger warnings or removal from the exchange, which can cut liquidity, reduce visibility, and often lead to sharper declines in share value—think of it like a venue’s minimum dress code that, if not met, can bar a performer from the stage.
