CNS Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:CNSP), Inc., a Houston-based pharmaceutical company, announced its regained compliance with NASDAQ's stockholders’ equity requirement. The company, which faced potential delisting due to previous non-compliance, has successfully increased its shareholders’ equity above the minimum threshold set by NASDAQ.
Previously, on August 17, 2023, CNS Pharmaceuticals was notified of its non-compliance with NASDAQ's minimum stockholders’ equity requirement of $2.5 million. In response, the company requested a hearing and was granted an extension until July 15, 2024, to demonstrate compliance. A subsequent extension was granted until August 12, 2024.
To address the issue, CNS Pharmaceuticals entered into a Sales Agreement with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners (NYSE:GLP) on July 26, 2024, which allowed the sale of common stock shares up to $5.2 million. On July 30, the company increased this limit to $25 million. As of August 5, CNS Pharmaceuticals sold approximately 23.09 million shares for gross proceeds of around $9.9 million, resulting in over 25.95 million shares of common stock outstanding.
The sale of these shares significantly bolstered the company's financial position, raising its stockholders’ equity to more than $5 million, well above the NASDAQ requirement. Additionally, the company reported a cash balance of $9.6 million as of August 6, 2024, estimated to sustain operations through the first quarter of 2025.
This financial rebound has placed CNS Pharmaceuticals in a position of compliance with NASDAQ's Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), ensuring its continued listing on the exchange. The company's strategic financial maneuvers have, for now, averted the risk of delisting and provided a more stable fiscal outlook.
This news is based on a press release statement from CNS Pharmaceuticals filed on August 7, 2024.
In other recent news, CNS Pharmaceuticals has been actively addressing its financial structure and operations. The company has significantly increased its potential sale of common stock from $5.2 million to $25 million in collaboration with A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners. This move comes as CNS Pharmaceuticals strives to enhance its capital resources.
In addition to this, CNS Pharmaceuticals has acquired an exclusive license for TPI 287, a drug candidate for glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), with plans to initiate a study in 2025.
