Rhea-AI Filing Summary

BiomX Inc. reported that it is out of compliance with NYSE American stockholders’ equity listing standards and has received a formal deficiency notice. The company’s equity is below the required $2.0M, $4.0M, and $6.0M thresholds tied to multi‑year net losses.

BiomX must submit a plan by April 24, 2026 showing how it will regain compliance by September 25, 2027, or it faces potential delisting, subject to appeal. Its auditors have also included a “going concern” explanatory paragraph in the latest annual report, highlighting uncertainty about its ability to continue operating without additional support. Shares continue to trade on NYSE American under the symbol PHGE for now.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • NYSE American deficiency notice and delisting risk: BiomX is below the NYSE American stockholders’ equity thresholds in Sections 1003(a)(i)-(iii) and has until September 25, 2027 to regain compliance or face potential delisting, subject to plan acceptance and appeals.
  • Auditor “going concern” explanatory paragraph: The latest audit opinion includes a going concern qualification, highlighting substantial doubt about BiomX’s ability to continue as a going concern without additional support or significant operational improvement.

Insights

BiomX now faces NYSE listing risk and auditor going concern doubts.

BiomX Inc. has fallen below NYSE American stockholders’ equity requirements tied to multi-year losses, triggering a deficiency notice. It must file a credible remediation plan by April 24, 2026 and achieve compliance by September 25, 2027 to avoid delisting proceedings.

The notice does not immediately affect trading, but it signals balance sheet weakness and sustained losses. In parallel, the latest audit opinion includes a “going concern” explanatory paragraph, indicating substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue operating without new capital or major improvement.

Together, the equity deficiency and going concern language are materially negative for the risk profile of PHGE. Future company updates on its compliance plan, equity position, and any capital or strategic actions will be central to assessing whether it can maintain its NYSE American listing and address liquidity pressure.

Continued Listing Standards

 

On March 25, 2026, BiomX, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) requiring a company to have stockholders’ equity of at least $2.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years, Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide requiring a company to have stockholders’ equity of at least $4.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide requiring a company to have stockholders’ equity at least $6.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years. The Notice also indicates that the Company is also not currently eligible for any exemption in Section 1003(a) of the Company Guide (including the exemption provided for companies with total value of market capitalization exceeding $50 million among other things). 

 

In connection with its non-compliance with Section 1003(a)(i), Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a)(iii), the Company must submit a plan (the “Plan”) to the NYSE American by April 24, 2026, advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by September 25, 2027.

The Company may appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.

 

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and the Common Stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American under the symbol “PHGE.”

 

The Company’s receipt of the Notice does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s management is reviewing its options to address the deficiencies and expects to submit a compliance plan on or before the deadline set by the NYSE American.

(NYSE American: PHGE) (the “Company”) today announced that on March 25, 2026, the Company received a notice from the staff of NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) that the Company was not in compliance with the NYSE American’s continued listing standards in Part 10, Section 1003(a)(i), (ii), and (iii)of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”), requiring a company to have stockholders’ equity of at least $2.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years, Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide requiring a company to have stockholders’ equity of at least $4.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide requiring a company to have stockholders’ equity at least $6.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

FAQ

What NYSE American standards did BiomX (PHGE) fail to meet?

BiomX fell below NYSE American stockholders’ equity requirements linked to multi-year losses. It does not meet the $2.0M, $4.0M, and $6.0M equity thresholds in Sections 1003(a)(i)-(iii), triggering a continued listing deficiency notice and potential delisting process.

Does the NYSE American notice immediately delist BiomX (PHGE) stock?

No, the notice has no immediate effect on listing or trading. BiomX’s common stock continues trading on NYSE American under the symbol PHGE while it prepares a compliance plan and undergoes periodic NYSE American monitoring during the remediation period.

What deadlines has BiomX been given to regain NYSE American compliance?

BiomX must submit a plan to NYSE American by April 24, 2026, outlining actions to restore compliance. The company then has until September 25, 2027 to meet continued listing standards, or NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings, subject to appeal rights.

Can BiomX appeal a potential NYSE American delisting decision?

Yes. If NYSE American staff initiates delisting after reviewing BiomX’s plan or progress, the company may appeal under Section 1010 and Part 12 of the NYSE American Company Guide, which outline the procedures for challenging a staff delisting determination.

What does the auditor’s going concern paragraph mean for BiomX?

The auditor included a going concern explanatory paragraph in BiomX’s 2025 audit opinion. This signals substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue operating without additional support, though it does not change the previously filed 2025 financial statements or Form 10-K.

Does the NYSE deficiency notice affect BiomX’s SEC reporting obligations?

No. BiomX states that receipt of the NYSE American notice does not affect its business operations or reporting requirements with the SEC. The company remains obligated to file its periodic and current reports while it works on a compliance plan.
