 meet. In response to the letter, the Company submitted its plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Rule to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) and requested additional time to regain compliance with such rule. On August 16, 2024, following the Panel’s review of the Company’s plan to regain compliance, the Company received a letter (the “Notice”) indicating that the Panel had determined to deny the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq. Pursuant to the Notice, based on the preliminary nature of the Company’s plan, the Panel determined that the Company did not provide a definitive plan evidencing its ability to achieve near- and long-term compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement. The Notice also provided that the Company’s securities will be suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on August 20, 2024. The Company submitted its appeal regarding the Panel’s determination on September 13, 2024 and requested that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council (the “Listing Council”) review the decision of the Panel. Such appeal stayed the delisting of the Company’s securities with Nasdaq; however, on December 19, 2024, the Listing Council affirmed the decision of the Panel. Although the Company continues to disagree with the Listing Council’s decision, as a result of such decision, Nasdaq will ultimately file a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) that will remove the Company’s securities from listing on Nasdaq. The filing of the Form 25 had been stayed pending the Company’s appeal of the Panel’s decision to the Listing Council. The Company’s shares of common stock will continue trading on the OTC Markets under the symbol “OPGN” following the filing of the Form 25 with the Commission. Consistent with the Listing Council’s decision, the Listing Council welcomes the Company’s application for relisting and the Company plans to apply for relisting with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC after meeting the relevant Nasdaq listing requirements. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to relist with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
