Nasdaq Delisting Notice
Kyntra Bio received a delisting notice on April 2, 2026, for failing the Nasdaq Global Select Market's $50 million total assets and total revenue requirement. The company has submitted a compliance plan and may transfer to the Nasdaq Capital Market.
-
Indemnification Accrual
The company accrued $7.0 million for indemnification obligations related to an SEC complaint against its former Chief Medical Officer. The company is not a party to the proceeding but must advance legal expenses.

ATM Program Available
Kyntra Bio has a $30 million at-the-market equity program with BofA Securities, under which no shares have been sold to date. This provides a potential source of capital but also creates dilution risk.
