[{"type":"text","content":"NEW YORK, Nov. 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Psyence Biomedical Ltd. (Nasdaq: PBM) (“Psyence Biomed” or the “Company”) today announced the favorable outcome of the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Hearing that was held on October 31st, 2024. The Nasdaq Hearings Panel has granted Psyence Biomed an extension until December 31st, 2024, to demonstrate compliance with all Nasdaq continued listing rules. During the Company’s Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Hearing, Psyence Biomed presented a comprehensive plan to regain and maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including 5550(a)(2), the $1 minimum bid price requirement, 5550(a)(5), the $1.0 million minimum market value of publicly held shares requirement, and 5550(b)(1), the $2.5 million minimum stockholders' equity requirement. As part of its plan, Psyence Biomed requested to be transferred from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to a Panel exception, effective November 15th, 2024. Furthermore, as previously announced, Psyence Biomed obtained shareholder approval during its Annual General Meeting on November 12th, 2024, to effect a 1-for-75 share consolidation that, when complete, will satisfy Nasdaq’s $1 minimum bid price requirement. The Company expects to demonstrate compliance with all the applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market within the Panel’s extension. “We are very pleased to have gained alignment with the Nasdaq Hearings Panel on our plan to regain compliance with all applicable listing requirements,” stated Dr. Neil Maresky, M.B.,B.Ch., Chief Executive Officer of Psyence Biomed. “Having our shares traded on the Nasdaq exchange is critical to raising awareness of our company among healthcare-focused institutional investors. Once these listing requirements are satisfied, we can focus on advancing our pipeline of nature-derived psilocybin-based therapeutics as potential treatments for underserved conditions in mental health and addiction where more efficacious options are urgently needed.” The Panel reserves the right to reconsider the terms of this extension based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of the Company’s securities on the Exchange inadvisable or unwarranted.
