Item 8.01 Other Events
As previously disclosed, on April 15, 2026, Mustang Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which sets forth the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Bid Price Requirement”). The Staff notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was afforded an initial 180-calendar day grace period, or until October 12, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. The Company was unable to demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Requirement by that date. However, the Company submitted a request for an additional 180-calendar day grace period based upon (i) the Company’s belief that, as of October 12, 2026, it satisfied the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, except for the Bid Price Requirement, and (ii) the Company’s written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second grace period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
On October 13, 2026, the Company received a letter from the Staff granting the Company’s request for an additional 180-calendar day period, or until April 12, 2027, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. Compliance can be achieved by evidencing a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (but generally not more than 20 consecutive business days) during the second 180-calendar day grace period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the second grace period, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s Common Stock will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, although an appeal would not pause any suspension of trading.
The Company intends to closely monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and remain listed on Nasdaq, including effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing.
