5. Other Information.
During
the three month period ended June 30, 2024, none of our executive officers or directors (as defined in Section 16 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended), adopted , terminated , or modified a “Rule 10-b5-1 trading arrangement” or a “non-Rule 10b5-1
trading arrangement” (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K).
Notice
of Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule
On
August 12, 2024, Conduit Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications
Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the last 30 consecutive
business days the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for
continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”). The deficiency
letter does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Global Market.
In
accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) (the “Compliance Period Rule”), the Company has been provided an initial
period of 180 calendar days, or until February 10, 2025 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price
Rule. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 or more
for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification
to the Company that it complies with the Bid Price Rule, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period pursuant
to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H).
If
the Company does not regain compliance by February 10, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period
if it applies to transfer the listing of its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, the Company would be required to
meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the
Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice of its intention to cure the
minimum bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Nasdaq staff determines that the Company will not be able to
cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible for such additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that
the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would have the right to appeal a determination to delist its
common stock, and the common stock would remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Market until the appeal process is complete. There can be
no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the delisting determination by the Staff to the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel, that
such appeal would be successful.
The
Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance
with the Bid Price Rule, which could include effecting a reverse stock split. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
