Sunshine Biopharma, Inc., a pharmaceutical company, announced Monday that it has regained compliance with Nasdaq's minimum bid price requirement. This development follows a decision from the Nasdaq Hearing Panel on June 28, 2024, which set forth the conditions for the company to meet the continued listing standards.
According to a letter from Nasdaq received by the company, Sunshine Biopharma is now in accordance with the bid price rule of the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). However, the company will be under a Mandatory Panel Monitor for the next year. During this time, if the company's compliance with the bid price rule lapses again, Nasdaq will not allow the company to submit a new compliance plan or grant additional time to regain compliance.
Should such non-compliance occur, Nasdaq Staff would issue a Delist Determination Letter, and Sunshine Biopharma would have the right to request another hearing. The outcome of such a hearing could potentially lead to the delisting of the company's securities from the Nasdaq exchange.
Sunshine Biopharma's securities, including its common stock (NASDAQ:SBFM) and common stock purchase warrants (NASDAQ:SBFMW), will continue to be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market, as confirmed by the recent communication from Nasdaq.
The company, headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, operates under the industrial classification of pharmaceutical preparations. This announcement is based on a press release statement and reflects the latest update in the company's regulatory compliance status with the stock market's listing requirements.
In other recent news, Sunshine Biopharma reported significant developments in its operations. The pharmaceutical company announced the publication of research highlighting a new antiviral compound, XR8-23, which shows high potency against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
This research, conducted in collaboration with the University of Arizona, demonstrated the compound's effectiveness in inhibiting a crucial enzyme for viral replication, potentially transforming the treatment landscape for coronavirus infections.
Sunshine Biopharma also executed a 1-for-20 reverse stock split, a strategic move that altered the company's capital structure. This development, reported in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), consolidated every twenty shares of issued and outstanding common stock into one single share.
In another significant development, the company announced the full exercise of all Series A Warrants issued in 2024, a move that could potentially increase the number of outstanding shares.
Furthermore, Sunshine Biopharma's subsidiary, Nora Pharma, received approval from Health Canada to commercialize its biosimilar drug, NIOPEG®, aimed at reducing infection in non-myeloid cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The company also completed a Series A Warrant exercise, representing an influx of funds, though the specifics of the financial impact were not disclosed.
