Material Changes and Events
On December 31, 2025, the Company received a notice from Nasdaq stating that its common stock failed to comply with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The deficiency is due to the closing bid price of the common stock remaining below $1.00 per share for 34 consecutive business days. This notice does not immediately impact the listing or trading of the securities.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
- Compliance Period: The Company has 180 calendar days, until June 30, 2026, to regain compliance.
- Remediation Requirement: To cure the deficiency, the closing bid price must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the compliance period.
- Secondary Options: If the Company fails to regain compliance by June 30, 2026, it may be eligible for an additional compliance period by meeting the market value of publicly held shares requirement and other initial listing standards, potentially via a reverse stock split.
- Risks: There is no assurance the Company will regain compliance. Failure to do so could result in delisting, though the Company retains the right to appeal such a determination to a Hearings Panel.
- Management Action: Management intends to actively monitor the stock price and consider available options to resolve the deficiency.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current closing bid price of BFRI common stock to assess proximity to the $1.00 threshold.
- Monitor the Company's stock price performance over the next 10 consecutive business days to determine if the initial cure is achieved.
- Review future filings for announcements regarding a potential reverse stock split if the initial compliance period expires without success.
- Check for any subsequent Nasdaq communications regarding the status of the delisting notice or appeal proceedings.
