Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Inspire Veterinary Partners, Inc. (IVP) has received a notice from Nasdaq stating that its common stock no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice also explains that the company is not eligible for an automatic compliance period because it has completed reverse stock splits over the past one and two years with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv). Nasdaq has stated that IVP’s securities will be suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on November 24, 2025, with a Form 25-NSE filed to remove the securities from listing and registration, unless the company appeals by November 20, 2025. IVP plans to request a hearing, which will temporarily halt the suspension or delisting process, but there is no assurance it will retain its Nasdaq listing.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Nasdaq has initiated delisting proceedings for IVP’s common stock after a prolonged bid-price deficiency, with trading suspension and a Form 25-NSE pending absent a successful appeal.

Insights

Equity & Listing Standards Analyst

IVP faces potential Nasdaq delisting after failing the minimum bid rule.

Inspire Veterinary Partners (IVP) has fallen out of compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement based on 30 consecutive business days of trading below the required level under Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Because the company has executed multiple reverse stock splits over the past one and two years with a cumulative ratio of at least 250-to-1, Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) prevents it from receiving a standard grace period to cure the deficiency.

Nasdaq has indicated that IVP’s securities will be suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the open on November 24, 2025, and that a Form 25-NSE will be filed to remove the securities from listing and registration, unless the company appeals by November 20, 2025. IVP plans to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which will stay the suspension and delisting process while the hearing is pending.

The outcome now depends on the Panel’s decision and IVP’s ability to demonstrate a path back to compliance, and the company explicitly notes that there can be no assurance it will be granted continued listing or succeed in regaining and maintaining compliance.

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

On November 13, 2025, Inspire Veterinary Partners, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, for the prior 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Further, the Notice stated that, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company was not eligible for any compliance period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) due to the fact that the Company has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period and has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one.

The Notice stated that the Company’s securities will be suspended from trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on November 24, 2025, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq, unless the Company requests an appeal of such determination to Nasdaq’s Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) by November 20, 2025. The Company intends to request a hearing before the prescribed date, which request will stay any further suspension or delisting action by Nasdaq pending the ultimate conclusion of the hearing process. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to regain compliance and thereafter maintain its listing on Nasdaq.
