On March 27, 2023, Agile Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department (the "Staff") of the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders' equity of at least $2,500,000 (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement"). The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022, reported stockholders' equity of $(5,545,000), which is below the Stockholders' Equity Requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. As of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the Company does not have a market value of listed securities of $35 million, or net income from continued operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or in two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years, the alternative quantitative standards for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The notification received has no immediate effect on the Company's continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company's compliance with the other continued listing requirements. In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has been provided 45 calendar days, or until May 11, 2023, to submit a plan to regain compliance (the "Compliance Plan"). If the Compliance Plan is acceptable to the Staff, they may grant an extension of 180 calendar days from the date of the Staff notification to regain compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement.

If the Staff does not accept the Compliance Plan, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that the Compliance Plan has been rejected. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel.

The Company intends to submit the Compliance Plan on or before May 11, 2023, monitor its stockholders' equity and, if appropriate, consider further available options to regain compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

Certain information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We may in some cases use terms such as "predicts," "believes," "potential," "continue," "anticipates," "estimates," "expects," "plans," "intends," "may," "could," "might," "likely," "will," "should" or other words that convey uncertainty of the future events or outcomes to identify these forward-looking statements.

Any or all of the forward-looking statements may turn out to be wrong or be affected by inaccurate assumptions we might make or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties including risks related to our ability to regain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements or otherwise maintain compliance with any other listing requirement of the Nasdaq Capital Market, timely file our Compliance Plan in accordance with Nasdaq rules, our ability to submit a Compliance Plan that is acceptable to the Staff, the potential de-listing of our shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market and the other risks set forth in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. For all these reasons, actual results and developments could be materially different from those expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements.
