**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

On April 6, 2026, Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") confirming that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that the Company maintain stockholders' equity of at least $2.5 million for continued listing (the "Equity Rule"), and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a), which requires companies listed on Nasdaq to hold an annual meeting of shareholders no later than one year after the end of the Company's fiscal year-end (the "Annual Meeting Rule"), further to a letter from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") dated February 2, 2026, which granted the Company an exception to cure both listing deficiencies.

Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor through April 6, 2027. If, within that one-year monitoring period, the Listing Qualifications Department staff (the "Staff") finds the Company again out of compliance with the Equity Rule that was the subject of the exception then, notwithstanding Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2), the Company will not be permitted to provide the Staff with a plan of compliance with respect to that deficiency and the Staff will not be permitted to grant additional time for the Company to regain compliance with respect to that deficiency, nor will the Company be afforded an applicable cure or compliance period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3). Instead, Staff will issue a Delist Determination Letter and the Company will have an opportunity to request a new hearing with the initial Panel or a newly convened Hearings Panel if the initial Panel is unavailable. The Company will have the opportunity to respond/present to the Hearings Panel as provided by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(C), and the Company's securities may be at that time delisted from Nasdaq.

On April 7, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing that it regained compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

**Artelo Biosciences Regains Compliance with Nasdaq Listing Requirements**

*Nasdaq confirms Company has regained compliance with Listing Rules 5550(b)(1) and 5620(a)*

SOLANA BEACH, Calif., April 7, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARTL), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on modulating lipid-signaling pathways to develop treatments for people living with cancer, pain, dermatological, or neurological conditions, today announced that it has received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") confirming that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), the "Equity Rule," and Listing Rule 5620(a), the "Annual Shareholders Meeting Rule."

Nasdaq further confirmed that, based on the Company's Form 8-K filed January 30, 2026, the Company held its reconvened annual meeting on that date and, based on the Company's Form 8-K filed March 30, 2026, the Company regained compliance with the Equity Rule. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory panel monitor for a period of one year from the date of the letter.

"We are pleased to have regained compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements," said Gregory D. Gorgas, President and Chief Executive Officer of Artelo Biosciences. "With this matter behind us, we remain focused on disciplined execution across our portfolio, including progressing potential partnership negotiations with ART27.13 boosted by the encouraging Phase 2 CAReS interim data suggesting its potential for mitigating or reversing the effects of cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome."

ART27.13 is also under investigation in an externally funded Phase 2 study as an orally administered agent for the treatment of glaucoma. Artelo's second clinical stage investigational drug and the first product candidate derived from our FABP5 inhibitor platform, ART26.12 is advancing as a non-opioid and non-scheduled drug for the treatment of neuropathic pain.

"As we continue to advance our pipeline with a focus on high-value indications and capital-efficient development, we believe Artelo is well-positioned to unlock meaningful long-term value for shareholders," added Gorgas
