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

 

On February 27, 2024, 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) therein stating that for the 31 consecutive business day period between January 11, 2024 through February 27, 2024, the common stock of the Company had not maintained a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until August 26, 2024 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by August 26, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day period to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

 

If the Company cannot regain compliance during the Compliance Period or any subsequently granted compliance period, the common stock and warrants of the Company will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel.

 

The notice from Nasdaq has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock and warrants and its common stock and warrants will continue to be listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbols “SXTP” and “SXTPW,” respectively. The Company is currently evaluating its options for regaining compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule or maintain compliance with any of the other Nasdaq continued listing requirements.
