Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. has been notified by Nasdaq that it no longer meets two key Nasdaq Global Market listing standards tied to market value. Nasdaq found the company was below the $50 million minimum market value of listed securities and the $15 million minimum market value of publicly held shares for 30 consecutive business days. The stock remains listed for now, and Tevogen has 180 days, until October 13–14, 2026, to regain compliance by maintaining required market values for at least 10 consecutive business days. The company will monitor its market value and may consider actions, including a potential transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market, but it cannot assure it will regain or maintain compliance.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • Nasdaq non-compliance on market value tests: Tevogen Bio no longer meets Nasdaq Global Market requirements for a $50 million market value of listed securities and $15 million market value of publicly held shares, creating a defined risk to its current listing status.

Insights

Nasdaq market-value deficiencies create clear listing risk for Tevogen Bio.

Tevogen Bio has fallen below Nasdaq Global Market thresholds for both the market value of listed securities and publicly held shares. These are structural listing requirements, not temporary trading anomalies, and follow 30 consecutive business days below each standard.

The company has October 13–14, 2026 to cure the issues, typically by sustaining at least $50 million in listed market value and $15 million in public float value for 10 or more consecutive trading days. During this period, trading continues, but the listing category is effectively on probation.

Management plans to monitor market value and may explore options, including a move to the Nasdaq Capital Market. Actual outcomes will depend on future trading levels and any corporate actions the company elects to pursue, with no assurance of regaining or maintaining compliance as disclosed.

market value of listed securities financial
"no longer meets Nasdaq’s $50 million minimum market value for listed securities requirement"
The market value of listed securities is the total worth of stocks, bonds and other tradable instruments quoted on an exchange, measured using the prices investors are willing to pay right now. It’s calculated by multiplying each security’s current market price by the number of units outstanding and adding those amounts together, like totaling the value of every item in a store at today’s prices. Investors watch this because it shows the size, liquidity and overall health of the market or a company’s publicly traded portion, and it influences index weights, fund allocations and perceived risk.
market value of publicly held shares financial
"no longer meets Nasdaq’s $15 million minimum market value of publicly held shares requirement"
The market value of publicly held shares is the total dollar worth of a company’s shares that are available to outside investors, calculated by multiplying the current market price by the number of shares held by the public (the “float”). It matters because it tells investors how much of the company is actually tradable and how the market is pricing that tradable portion—like a price tag on the items on a store shelf, it affects liquidity, volatility and how easy it is to buy or sell a meaningful stake.
Nasdaq Global Market financial
"for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market based on Nasdaq’s review"
The Nasdaq Global Market is a section of the stock exchange where larger, well-established companies are listed and publicly traded. It functions like a marketplace where investors can buy and sell shares of these companies, providing them with access to capital and opportunities for growth. Its role is important because it helps investors identify and invest in reputable companies with strong financial backgrounds.
Nasdaq Capital Market financial
"as well as applying for a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market"
The Nasdaq Capital Market is a platform where smaller, emerging companies can list their shares for trading by investors. It provides these companies with access to funding and visibility, helping them grow, much like a local marketplace where new vendors can introduce their products to potential customers. For investors, it offers opportunities to discover early-stage companies with growth potential.
Emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

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

 

On April 16, 2026, Tevogen Bio Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the Company no longer meets Nasdaq’s $50 million minimum market value for listed securities requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market based on Nasdaq’s review of the market value of the Company’s listed securities for the previous 30 consecutive business days. In addition, on April 17, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Staff notifying the Company that the Company no longer meets Nasdaq’s $15 million minimum market value of publicly held shares requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2&3)(C) (the “MVPHS Requirement”, and together with the MVLS Requirement, the “Requirements”) based on Nasdaq’s review of the market value of the Company’s publicly held shares for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The notifications have no immediate effect on the Company’s listing or trading on the Nasdaq Global Market.

 

Nasdaq has provided the Company a period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with each Requirement, or until October 13, 2026 for the MVLS Requirement (the “MVLS Compliance Date”) and October 14, 2026 for the MVPHS Requirement (the “MVPHS Compliance Date” and, together with the MVLS Compliance Date, the “Compliance Dates”). If, at any time before the applicable Compliance Date, the Company’s market value of listed securities closes at $50 million or more or the Company’s market value of publicly held shares closes at $15 million or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days and up to generally not more than 20 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it has regained compliance with the applicable Requirement.

 

The Company intends to actively monitor the market value of its listed securities and publicly held shares. The Company may evaluate and consider available options for regaining compliance with the Requirements, as well as applying for a transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will take any specific action or be able to regain compliance with either Requirement or otherwise maintain compliance with Nasdaq listing rules.
