Renalytix Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Delisting Determination - Plans to Appeal

LONDON and NEW YORK, June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Renalytix plc (NASDAQ: RNLX) (LSE: RENX) announces that as previously disclosed, on December 22, 2023, Renalytix plc (the "Company") received two written notices (the "Notices") from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that (i) because the closing bid price for the Company's American Depositary Shares ("ADSs"), each representing two ordinary shares, nominal value £0.0025 per share, was below $1.00 per ADS for at least 30 consecutive business days, the Company did not meet the $1.00 per ADS minimum bid price requirement of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) the ("Minimum Bid Price Requirement") and (ii) it is not in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum market value of listed securities (the "MVLS") of $50,000,000 for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the "MVLS Requirement"). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company had a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until June 19, 2024 (the "Compliance Period"), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the MVLS Requirement.

On June 21, 2024, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Nasdaq staff has determined that the Company did not regain compliance within the Compliance Period. As a result, unless the Company requests an appeal of this determination before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") by June 28, 2024, trading of the Company's ADSs will be suspended at the opening of business on July 2, 2024, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which will remove the Company's securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

The Company intends to submit an appeals hearing request to the Panel, which request will stay the suspension of the Company's securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Panel's decision. Throughout this process, pending the Panel's decision, the Company's ADSs will continue trading on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol "RNLX".

At the Panel hearing, the Company intends to present a strategic plan to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. In the interim, the Company's ADSs will continue to trade on Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that the Company's plan will be accepted by the Panel or that, if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable Nasdaq listing requirements. If the Company's ADSs are delisted, it could be more difficult to buy or sell the Company's ADSs or to obtain accurate quotations, and the price of the Company's ADSs could suffer a material decline. Delisting could also impair the Company's ability to raise capital.
