Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to
Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 15, 2026, Liminatus Pharma, Inc.
(the “Company”) received a notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”)
indicating that, based upon the closing bid price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company was no longer in compliance with
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”) which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid
price of $1 per share.
The notification has no immediate effect on the
listing of the Company’s common stock, and its common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “LIMN”
at this time.
Under the Nasdaq rules, the Company has been provided
a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until July 14, 2026, in which to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. If at any
time during this 180 day period the closing bid price of the Company’s security is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive
business days, Nasdaq will provide the Company written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed. If the Company chooses
to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten business days prior to the expiration date of the compliance
period, in order to regain compliance. In the event the Company does not regain compliance during the the initial compliance period, the
Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
The Company is working diligently to regain compliance
with Nasdaq’s listing rules. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance within the prescribed
time period.
This announcement is made in compliance with Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5810(b), which requires prompt disclosure of receipt of a deficiency notification.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain information contained in this report consists
of forward-looking statements for purposes of the federal securities law that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult
to predict. Words such as “will,” “would,” “may,” “intends,” “potential,”
and similar expressions, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement
is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and actual actions or events could differ materially
from those contained in such statements. For example, there can be no assurance that Nasdaq will accept the Company’s plan to regain
compliance or that the Company will regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules during any compliance period or in the future,
or otherwise meet Nasdaq continued listing standards. For additional information about factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, please refer to the Company’s filings with the SEC. The forward-looking
statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this report and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update
any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in information, events or circumstances after the date of this report, unless required
by law.
