On November 15, 2024, Seelos Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a voluntary petition for relief (the “Bankruptcy Petition”) under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtor will continue to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On November 18, 2024, the Company was notified by the OTC Markets Group Inc. (the “OTC Markets Group” that its common stock, par value $0.001 per share, would be moved from the OTC Market Group’s OTCQB market (the “OTCQB”) to the OTC Pink Market, effective November 19, 2024 because the Company has filed for bankruptcy protection.

 

The Company intends promptly file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and suspend the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Cautionary Statements Regarding Trading in the Company’s Securities

The Company’s securityholders are cautioned that trading in the Company’s securities during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Petition is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by the Company’s securityholders in the Bankruptcy Petition. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its securities. In particular, the Company expects that its securityholders could experience a significant or complete loss on their investment, depending on the outcome of the Bankruptcy Petition.
