Plus Therapeutics receives extension to meet Nasdaq listing requirements

Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ:PSTV), a small-cap biotechnology company with a market capitalization of $44.21 million, announced Wednesday that it has been granted an extension by a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to regain compliance with Nasdaq Capital Market listing standards. The information is based on a statement in a recent SEC filing.

According to the filing, Plus Therapeutics had previously been notified on June 3 by the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies to maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity. The company reported a stockholders’ deficit of $23.6 million as of March 31, 2025.

Following the notification, Nasdaq staff determined to delist the company’s securities unless Plus Therapeutics appealed the decision. The company requested a hearing, which was held on July 15.

On July 22, the panel granted Plus Therapeutics continued listing on Nasdaq, subject to certain conditions. The company must demonstrate compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement by Thursday, August 14, by filing a public disclosure describing the transactions undertaken to achieve compliance and providing an updated indication of its equity position. The filing may include a balance sheet not older than 60 days with pro forma adjustments for significant events.

Additionally, Plus Therapeutics is required to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days on or before September 8, 2025.

The company’s common stock continues to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol PSTV.
