Iterum Therapeutics plc (NASDAQ:ITRM), a pharmaceutical company with a market capitalization of $53.43 million, has reported a regulatory compliance issue with the Nasdaq Stock Market. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently shows a WEAK financial health score of 1.57 out of 5. Today, the company disclosed that due to the resignation of Ronald Hunt from the Board of Directors, it will not meet the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A), which requires a certain number of independent directors on its audit committee.
Hunt's departure, effective immediately on February 14, 2025, leaves a vacancy in the audit committee as well as in the compensation, nominating, and corporate governance committees. His resignation was not due to any disagreements with the company's operations, policies, or practices, according to the statement. The company's stock has shown significant volatility, trading between $0.81 and $3.02 over the past 52 weeks.

The company expressed gratitude towards Hunt for his contributions during his tenure.
This development requires Iterum Therapeutics to address the compliance issue with Nasdaq to maintain its listing.
