Polyrizon Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Delisting Notice

Raanana, Israel, May 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Polyrizon Ltd. (Nasdaq: PLRZ) (the “Company” or “Polyrizon”), a development stage biotech company specializing in the development of innovative intranasal hydrogels, announced that it has received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), stating that based on its review of the Company’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), its staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities pursuant to its discretionary authority under Listing Rule 5101. The receipt of the Nasdaq notification letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s ordinary shares and has no current immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market, under symbol “PLRZ.”

Specifically, as set forth in the letter, Nasdaq’s staff determined that the Company’s issuance of securities pursuant to the securities purchase agreement dated March 31, 2025, particularly the Series A warrants exercisable on an alternate cashless basis as described in the Company’s prior SEC filings, raises public interest concerns because the issuance resulted in substantial dilution for its shareholders.

Accordingly, and as described in the notification letter, unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), the Company’s securities would be subject to suspension/delisting. Accordingly, the Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel. The hearing request will automatically stay any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the Panel following the hearing.
