Allarity Therapeutics Takes Decisive Step Toward Regaining Nasdaq Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)
11 Septembre 2024 - 2:00PM
Boston (September 11, 2024) —
Allarity Therapeutics, Inc. (“Allarity” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:
ALLR), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company dedicated to
developing personalized cancer treatments, today announced that the
Company is taking a decisive step toward regaining compliance with
Nasdaq’s listing requirements, as outlined by the Nasdaq Hearings
Panel during a meeting on August 15, 2024.
At the meeting, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel approved Allarity’s
plan to maintain its listing, contingent upon the Company securing
shareholder approval for a reverse stock split by September 6,
2024. This approval was granted by Allarity’s shareholders at the
Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on September 3, 2024. The
Board of Directors has since approved the implementation of a
1-for-30 Reverse Stock Split of its outstanding shares of common
stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”), which took effect at 12:01am
Eastern Time today, September 11, 2024. The Company’s common stock
will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens
today.
Thomas Jensen, CEO of Allarity Therapeutics, commented, “We are
committed to maintaining our Nasdaq listing and are taking decisive
steps to meet the exchange’s requirements. By implementing this
reverse stock split, we are mitigating the risks of delisting and
positioning Allarity to further advance our unique precision
medicine approach. Stenoparib has shown promising clinical benefit
in patients with advanced ovarian cancer, who have exhausted other
treatment options. Our focus remains on progressing the development
of stenoparib, while ensuring we comply with Nasdaq’s regulatory
standards.”
New CUSIP and Shareholdings AdjustmentsThe new
CUSIP number for Allarity’s common stock following the Reverse
Stock Split will be 016744500. As a result of the Reverse Stock
Split, the total number of shares of Allarity’s issued and
outstanding common stock will be reduced to approximately
one-thirtieth of the pre-split amount. Stockholders holding
fractional shares post-split will have their shares rounded up to
the nearest whole number. Proportional adjustments will also be
made to outstanding equity awards and authorized shares under
Allarity’s 2021 equity incentive plan.Allarity has appointed
Computershare Limited as the exchange agent to facilitate the
Reverse Stock Split process. Registered stockholders with shares
held in book-entry form are not required to take any action to
receive their post-split shares. Stockholders holding shares
through brokerage accounts will see their holdings automatically
adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. For stockholders with
physical certificates, Computershare will provide instructions on
how to exchange their certificates for post-split shares.
About StenoparibStenoparib is an orally
available, small-molecule dual-targeted inhibitor of PARP1/2 and
Tankyrase 1 and 2. At present, tankyrases are attracting
significant attention as emerging therapeutic targets for cancer,
principally due to their role in regulating the Wnt signaling
pathway. Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signaling has been implicated in
the development and progression of numerous cancers. By inhibiting
PARP and blocking Wnt pathway activation, stenoparib’s unique
therapeutic action shows potential as a promising therapeutic.
Allarity has exclusive global rights for the development and
commercialization of stenoparib, which was originally developed by
Eisai Co. Ltd. and was formerly known under the names E7449 and
2X-121.
