Exhibit 99.1
Pulmatrix Regains Compliance With Nasdaq Listing Requirements
LEXINGTON, Mass., March 17, 2022 -- Pulmatrix, Inc. (NASDAQ: PULM), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing innovative inhaled therapies to address serious pulmonary and non-pulmonary disease using its patented iSPERSE™ technology, today announced that it received written notice from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff of the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company regained compliance with the applicable Nasdaq minimum bid price continued listing requirement and the matter is now closed.
The Company had previously been notified by Nasdaq on August 17, 2021 that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement because its common stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days. In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), the Company was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 or more for at least 10 consecutive trading days, which was achieved March 14, 2022.
