[424B3] KAZIA THERAPEUTICS LTD Prospectus Filed Pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3)
Kazia Therapeutics Limited is updating a previously registered offering of 95,111 American Depositary Shares, representing 47,555,560 ordinary shares, via a prospectus supplement that incorporates its latest Form 6-K disclosure. The ADSs trade on Nasdaq under the symbol KZIA, and on November 17, 2025, the last reported sale price was $6.08 per ADS.
The attached Form 6-K explains that Kazia has not regained compliance with Nasdaq’s $35 million Market Value of Listed Securities requirement by the November 10, 2025 deadline. Nasdaq staff has issued a determination letter, and Kazia intends to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which will temporarily stay any suspension or delisting. The company plans to present a compliance plan at the hearing but cautions there is no assurance the Panel will accept it or that it will ultimately meet all Nasdaq listing standards.
- None.
- Heightened Nasdaq delisting risk: Kazia did not regain compliance with Nasdaq’s $35 million Market Value of Listed Securities requirement by the November 10, 2025 deadline and now faces a hearings process with an uncertain outcome.
Insights
Nasdaq MVLS noncompliance creates real listing risk despite a planned appeal.
Kazia Therapeutics reports that its Market Value of Listed Securities fell below Nasdaq’s
The company plans to request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel, which will automatically stay any suspension or delisting while the process is ongoing and during any extension period the Panel may grant. At that hearing, Kazia intends to show a viable path to regain and sustain compliance with Nasdaq’s maintenance criteria, but explicitly notes there can be no assurance its plan will be accepted or that it will ultimately meet the applicable requirements.
From an investor perspective, the key risk is the potential loss of the Nasdaq listing if Kazia cannot demonstrate compliance. That could affect trading liquidity and visibility for the ADSs, even though the prospectus supplement itself mainly updates an existing registration of 95,111 ADSs representing 47,555,560 ordinary shares. The ultimate outcome depends on the Panel’s decision and Kazia’s ability to improve its market value sufficiently to satisfy Nasdaq’s standards.
