Scorpius Holdings Announces Receipt of Filing Delinquency Notification

Reaffirms commitment to regaining compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards

DURHAM, N.C., April 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), received an official notice of noncompliance (the “NYSE American Notice”) from NYSE Regulation stating that the Company is not in compliance with NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American” or the “Exchange”) continued listing standards (the “Filing Delinquency Notification”) under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide") due to the failure to timely file the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023 (the “Delinquent Report”) by the filing due date of April 16, 2024 (the “Filing Delinquency”).

As previously reported in the Company’s Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, the Company was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, within the prescribed period because of delays experienced by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The delays relate to recent finance staff turnover of those directly involved in preparing the Delinquent Report, and the need for additional time to complete the calculation of revenue recognition for certain contracts for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Jeff Wolf, CEO of Scorpius, stated, “We regret the delay in filing our Form 10-K, due in part to substantive changes within our organization. We expect to file our year-end financial results in short order. Most importantly, we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of financial reporting and corporate governance.”

The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide. Within five days of the date of the Filing Delinquency Notification, the Company was required to (a) contact the Exchange to discuss the status of the Delinquent Report and (b) issue a press release disclosing the occurrence of the Filing Delinquency, the reason for the Filing Delinquency and, if known, the anticipated date such Filing Delinquency will be cured via the filing or refiling of the applicable report, as the case may be.
