• Trading suspension effective Aug 21, 2025 will interrupt Nasdaq trading and may reduce liquidity

• Potential for reduced institutional interest and wider bid-ask spreads due to move from Nasdaq to OTC

Insights

Financial Analyst

TL;DR: Nasdaq will suspend trading of WINT on Aug 21, 2025; OTC transition introduces liquidity and investor access risks.

Nasdaq's delisting determination is a material corporate event that typically reduces visibility and liquidity for a public company. The company expects suspension effective at the open on August 21, 2025 and plans to seek quotation on the OTCID tier the same day. While the firm will continue SEC reporting, moving from Nasdaq to OTC commonly narrows the shareholder base, can increase bid-ask spreads, and may limit institutional interest. The filing states the transition will not affect operations, but the market implications are intrinsic to the change in trading venue.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR: Delisting reflects noncompliance with listing standards; governance and disclosure obligations continue despite venue change.

The Nasdaq delisting notice signals persistent noncompliance with quantitative listing criteria under Rule 5550(a)(2). Management's continued SEC filings preserve regulatory disclosure obligations and transparency, but the loss of a national exchange listing could affect shareholder relations, proxy participation, and perceived corporate governance quality. The company has applied for OTCID quotation, but the filing appropriately disclaims there is no assurance of approval, creating short-term procedural uncertainty for trading and holders.

On August 19, 2025, Windtree Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that as a result of the Company’s previously disclosed noncompliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), Nasdaq has determined to delist the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market and, accordingly, will suspend trading in the Company’s common stock effective at the open of trading on August 21, 2025.
