Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. received a notice from Nasdaq on February 20, 2026 stating that its common stock no longer meets the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The company has 180 calendar days, until August 19, 2026, to regain compliance by having its stock close at or above $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days. If it meets other listing standards, it may qualify for an additional 180-day period and could use actions such as a reverse stock split to cure the deficiency.

If compliance is not regained, Nasdaq staff may move to delist the shares, though the company would have the right to appeal. The company plans to monitor its share price and evaluate options, and states that this notice does not affect its business operations or SEC reporting.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency: Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. received a Nasdaq notice that its common stock no longer satisfies the $1.00 minimum bid requirement, starting a 180-day cure period and creating a potential path to delisting if compliance is not restored.

Insights

Nasdaq bid-price deficiency introduces delisting risk but allows time to cure.

Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. has fallen below Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for 30 consecutive business days, triggering a formal deficiency notice. The shares remain listed, but the company now operates under a defined compliance timeline.

The company has 180 days, until August 19, 2026, to restore a bid price at or above $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days. If it meets other initial listing criteria, it could receive an additional 180 days and may use tools such as a reverse stock split to regain compliance.

Failure to cure the issue could lead Nasdaq staff to initiate delisting, subject to a potential appeal. Future disclosures around any corporate actions to address the bid price and Nasdaq’s subsequent determinations will shape how this listing risk develops.

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

 

On February 20, 2026, Pasithea Therapeutics Corp. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”). The Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

The Nasdaq Listing Rules require listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for 30 consecutive business days prior to the delivery of the Notice, the Company no longer meets this requirement. The Notice indicated that the Company will be provided 180 calendar days in which to regain compliance, or until August 19, 2026. If at any time during this period, the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq staff (the “Staff”) will provide the Company with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.

 

Alternatively, if the Company fails to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period, provided (i) it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (except for the Bid Price Requirement) and (ii) it provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure this deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period, and if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible, the Staff will provide the Company with written notification that its securities are subject to delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a hearings panel.

 

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and is considering its options to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Company’s receipt of the Notice does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
