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

On October 10, 2023, Palatin Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the staff of NYSE American LLC (the “Exchange”) stating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2023 (“Form 10-K”) was not in compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards under Section 1003(a)(i) and (ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”). Section 1003(a)(i) requires a listed company to have stockholders’ equity $2 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years, and Section 1003(a)(ii) requires a listed company to have stockholders’ equity of $4 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements of Section 1009 of the Company Guide. The Company has until November 9, 2023, to submit a plan (the “Plan”) of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by April 10, 2025.

The Company intends to timely deliver a Plan to the Exchange. If the Exchange accepts the Plan, the Company will be able to continue its listing during the Plan period and will be subject to periodic reviews including quarterly monitoring for compliance with the Plan until it has regained compliance. If the Plan is not accepted by the Exchange, the Letter stated that delisting proceedings will commence. The Company may appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.

The Letter has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on the Exchange. The Company’s receipt of the Letter from the Exchange does not affect the Company’s business, operations or reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
