Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)

 

As previously reported in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 13, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by 180 Life Sciences Corp. (the “Company”, “we” and “us”), on October 11, 2023, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the shareholder approval requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), which requires prior shareholder approval for transactions, other than public offerings, involving the issuance of 20% or more of the pre-transaction shares outstanding at less than the applicable Minimum Price (as defined in Listing Rule 5635(d)(1)(A)).

 

The Staff’s determination under Listing Rule 5635(d) related to the offering and issuance by the Company of an aggregate of: (i) 666,925 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Shares”), at a price of $0.65 per share, (ii) pre-funded warrants (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) to purchase up to 3,948,460 shares of common stock, at a price of $0.6499 per Pre-Funded Warrant and (iii) warrants (the “Common Warrants”) to purchase up to 4,615,385 shares of Common Stock. The offering price per Share and associated Common Warrant was $0.65 and the offering price per Pre-Funded Warrant and associated Common Warrant was $0.6499. The Offering was previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on August 15, 2023.

 

The October 11, 2023 letter provided the Company 45 days to submit a plan to regain compliance. The plan of compliance was subsequently submitted by the Company to Nasdaq on November 9, 2023, and on November 14, 2023, Nasdaq granted the Company an extension, until December 15, 2023, to complete certain transactions set forth in the plan of compliance, in order to remedy its prior violation of Nasdaq rules as described in the October 11, 2023 letter from Nasdaq.

 

As disclosed in greater detail in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on November 29, 2023, the Company undertook several transactions, including amending the terms of the Common Warrants to not be exercisable until the Company’s stockholders approve such issuance in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, in order to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5635(d)(1)(A)).

 

As a result of those transactions, on December 14, 2023, Nasdaq provided the Company written notice that the Company has complied with the terms of the prior extension; that the Company complies with Listing Rule 5635(d)(1)(A)); and that the matter is now closed.
