| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On May 8, 2025, Biofrontera Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the listing of its common stock was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 per share for the previous 33 consecutive business days.
The notice has no present impact on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 5, 2025, to regain compliance with the rule referred to in this paragraph. To regain compliance, during this 180-day compliance period, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
In the event that the Company does not regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules prior to the expiration of the 180-day compliance period ending on November 5, 2025, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii) by meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and providing written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. Should the Nasdaq staff conclude that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company does not meet other listing standards, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s securities will be subject to delisting. At such time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and, as appropriate, will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market.
