SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 8, 2024 / Jaguar Health, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAGX) ("Jaguar" or the "Company") today announced that on April 5, 2024 the Company received formal notice that the Listing Qualifications Staff (the "Staff") of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") has granted Jaguar an additional grace period, through August 13, 2024, to regain compliance with the $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. To evidence compliance, the Company must report a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days on or before August 13, 2024.
"We are pleased to have obtained additional time from Nasdaq to evidence compliance with the bid price requirement," said Lisa Conte, Jaguar's president and CEO. "As reported on February 23, 2024, Jaguar requested a hearing to appeal a potential delisting of the Company's securities from Nasdaq, and a hearing was scheduled. Because we have been granted the additional grace period, this hearing will no longer occur."
Jaguar's paramount near-term clinical activity is the Company's Phase 3 pivotal OnTarget trial of crofelemer for the follow-on indication of the preventative treatment of cancer therapy-related diarrhea. Top line results from this pivotal study are forthcoming.
The Company's common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol ‘JAGX' pending the ultimate decision of any appeal process, and Jaguar's board remains committed to taking all required steps to remain in compliance with Nasdaq's listing standards.
