Nasdaq warns Longeveron (NASDAQ: LGVN) on $1 minimum bid, delisting risk

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Longeveron Inc. reported that Nasdaq has notified the company its Class A common stock no longer meets the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, based on the stock closing below this level for 30 consecutive business days. The notice does not immediately remove the stock from Nasdaq.

Longeveron has until March 23, 2026 to regain compliance, which would occur if the bid price closes at $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive business days, subject to Nasdaq’s discretion to require up to 20 days. If the closing bid price is $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days, Nasdaq may move to suspend and delist the stock sooner. The company plans to monitor its share price and consider options to regain compliance but warns there is no assurance it will succeed or meet other Nasdaq listing rules.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Nasdaq minimum bid-price deficiency and delisting risk: Longeveron’s stock has failed the $1.00 bid requirement, faces a March 23, 2026 compliance deadline, and could be suspended and delisted sooner if the bid stays at or below $0.10 for ten consecutive trading days.

Insights

Equity market structure analyst

Nasdaq minimum bid-price deficiency introduces clear delisting risk for Longeveron.

Longeveron Inc. has fallen out of compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid price rule after 30 consecutive business days below that level. Nasdaq has given the company until March 23, 2026 to bring its Class A common stock bid back to at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, with the exchange able to extend that streak requirement to 20 days.

The disclosure also highlights a sharper trigger: if the closing bid is $0.10 or less for ten straight trading days before the compliance deadline, Nasdaq may issue a Staff Determination Letter that can lead to immediate suspension and delisting unless appealed. This creates a two-tier risk structure, where deeper price weakness accelerates potential removal from the market.

If Longeveron does not regain compliance by the initial deadline, it may qualify for an additional 180-day period if it meets all other initial listing standards and notifies Nasdaq of its plan to cure the price deficiency. The company states it will monitor its bid price and consider options to remain listed, but also cautions there is no assurance it can satisfy the minimum bid or broader Nasdaq rules, leaving the ultimate outcome dependent on future trading levels and corporate actions.

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

On September 22, 2025, Longeveron Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company’s Class A common stock (“Common Stock”) did not meet the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) as a result of the closing bid price of the Company’s Common Stock for the last 30 consecutive business days. The Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s Common Stock and, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until March 23, 2026 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the bid price closes at $1.00 or more per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (subject to Nasdaq’s discretion to increase the minimum period to up to 20 consecutive business days pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)), Nasdaq would provide written notification to the Company that it again complies with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Common Stock will continue to be eligible for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market unless other eligibility deficiencies exist. However, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), if the Company’s Common Stock has a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days before the Compliance Date, Nasdaq can issue a Staff Determination Letter, which, unless appealed, would subject our Common Stock to immediate suspension and delisting.

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the Compliance Date, the Company could be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirements for the market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and would need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional compliance period.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of the Common Stock and assess its available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and continue listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing rules.
