Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by bioAffinity Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), on February 7, 2025, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days (December 23, 2024 through February 6, 2025), the Company’s common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Therefore, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or util August 6, 2025, to regain compliance with the rule.

 

As previously reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company, on May 27, 2025 the Company received written notice from the Staff stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Continued Listing Equity Requirement”) because the stockholders’ equity of the Company of $1,439,404 as of March 31, 2025, as reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 15, 2025, was below the minimum requirement of $2,500,000. Pursuant to Nasdaq’s Listing Rules, the Company had 45 calendar days to submit a plan (a “Compliance Plan”) to regain compliance with the Continued Listing Equity Requirement. On July 14, 2025, the Company submitted its plan to regain compliance with the Continued Listing Equity Requirement.

 

On August 7, 2025, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq that the Company has not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by August 6, 2025 and is not eligible for a second 180 day compliance period as the Company does not comply with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As a result, unless the Company requests an appeal to a hearings panel (the “Panel”) by August 14, 2025, the Company’s securities will be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and will be suspended at the opening of business on August 18, 2025.

 

In addition, as of the date hereof, the Company has not regained compliance with the Continued Listing Equity Requirement. As a result and pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(d)(2), this deficiency now serves as an additional basis for delisting of the Company’s securities.

 

The Company intends to submit an appeal to Nasdaq on August 14, 2025, which will stay the delisting and suspension of the Company’s securities pending the decision of the Panel. Hearings are typically scheduled to occur approximately 30-45 days after the date of the hearing request. At the hearing, the Company intends to present its views and its plans to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Continued Listing Equity Requirement to the Panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to evidence compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule, the Continued Listing Equity Requirement or any other applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market prior to the hearing. It is the Company’s understanding that the Panel typically issues its decision within 30 days after the hearing.

 

There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company any extension period within which to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Continued Listing Equity Requirement, or if any such extension period is granted, that the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the Continued Listing Equity Requirement within such extension period, or that the Company will be successful in otherwise maintaining the listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

 

This report contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the timing of the hearing and the timing of the decision of the Panel. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. In particular, the hearing may be scheduled, and the Panel may issue a decision, more quickly than expected based on the typical time periods in published Nasdaq guidance, which shorter timeline(s) may be unfavorable for the Company and the continued listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement in this report, except as required by law.
