Nasdaq Delisting Matter Closed
Nasdaq notified the company on June 26, 2026 that it regained compliance with the minimum bid price rule after the stock closed at or above $1.00 for ten consecutive business days (June 11-25, 2026). The delisting matter is now closed.
-
Ongoing Delisting Risk Highlighted
Despite regaining compliance, the company warns that the stock price was only $1.68 as of July 9, 2026, and any adverse developments could cause it to fall below $1.00 again, potentially triggering new delisting proceedings.
-
Reverse Stock Split Remains Critical
The board emphasizes that if the stock price falls below $1.00 again, the approved reverse stock split (Proposal 3 at the July 16 special meeting) would be a key tool to regain compliance, but it must be implemented within one year of stockholder approval.

Analysis · OTLK · Life Sciences
Outlook Therapeutics disclosed that Nasdaq closed its delisting matter after the stock held above $1.00 for ten consecutive days through June 25, 2026. Yet the company cautions that the stock price was only $1.68 as of July 9, 2026, and any adverse developments could push it back below $1.00, triggering new delisting proceedings. This supplement to the proxy statement for the July 16 special meeting underscores the fragility of the company's Nasdaq listing even as it seeks shareholder approval for a reverse stock split and massive dilution. The going concern warning and recent dilutive financings amplify the risk that the stock could again fall below the threshold, making the reverse split proposal a critical safeguard.
