Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On October 20, 2026, SenesTech, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the listing qualifications staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) providing notification that the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days and the Company’s common stock no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until April 19, 2027, to regain compliance. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time before April 19, 2027, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period (generally, to no more than 20 consecutive business days) pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).
If the Company does not regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) by April 19, 2027, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify, the Company would need to meet the continued listing requirement for 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 of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. However, if it appears to the Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq would notify the Company that its securities would be subject to delisting. In the event of such notification, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would grant the Company’s request for continued listing.
The Nasdaq notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its common stock and will consider options available to it to achieve compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules. 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 the other listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On October 22, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing its receipt of the Nasdaq notification. A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by reference in such a filing.

SenesTech Receives Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notification and
Highlights Record Third Quarter Revenue
SURPRISE, Ariz., Oct. 22, 2026 — SenesTech, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNES), the leader in rodent birth control and sustainable rodent population management, today announced that, on Oct. 20, 2026, it received a letter from the listing qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the closing bid price of its common stock had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. As a result, the Company does not currently meet the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of SenesTech’s common stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SNES.” Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until April 19, 2027, to regain compliance.
“We take the Nasdaq notification seriously, and we intend to use the compliance period to keep demonstrating the progress we are making in the business,” said Michael Edell, President and Chief Executive Officer of SenesTech. “Our preliminary third quarter revenue of approximately $1.1 million was the highest in the Company’s history, up 40% from the second quarter and 55% from the third quarter of 2025. We believe that continued execution, together with broader investor awareness of our progress, can create opportunities for our share price to better reflect the value we see in the business.”
Recently, long term holder Glenbrook Capital Management congratulated Senestech on its recently announced 40% sequential and 55% year-over-year revenue growth in Q3. It has also reported a 38% ownership position and offered to work cooperatively with the Board and management team on practical measures designed to improve the Company's financial position and support operating priorities.
SenesTech intends to take a disciplined approach to financial management, balancing the need to maintain adequate liquidity and financial resources against the cost of capital and dilution to existing shareholders. The Company continues to evaluate its financing requirements and available alternatives, as well as the other options available to it to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules.
