**Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.**

As previously reported, on June 6, 2025, Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter (the "June 2025 Nasdaq Letter") from The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days the Company's common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Rule") for continued listing on Nasdaq (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). The June 2025 Nasdaq Letter stated that the Company had 180 calendar days, or until December 3, 2025 (the "Initial Compliance Date"), to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

On December 4, 2025, the "Company received a second letter (the "December 2025 Nasdaq Letter") from Nasdaq stating that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar days, or until June 1, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

The Staff of the Nasdaq (the "Staff") determined that the Company is eligible for the second 180 calendar day period, or until June 1, 2026, to regain compliance with the Rule based on the Staff's determination that the Company must continue to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the Company's written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If at any time during this additional time period, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written confirmation of compliance with the Rule and this matter will be closed. The December 2025 Nasdaq Letter from Nasdaq also stated that if the Company chooses to implement a reverse stock split, it must complete the split no later than ten (10) business days prior to the expiration date in order to timely regain compliance.

If compliance with the Rule cannot be demonstrated by June 1, 2026, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company's common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff's determination to a Hearings Panel (the "Panel"). If the Company appeals, it will be asked to provide a plan to regain compliance to the Panel, and that historically Panels have generally viewed a near-term reverse stock split as the only definitive plan acceptable to resolve a deficiency of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.

An indicator will continue to be broadcast over Nasdaq's market data dissemination network noting the Company's non-compliance. In addition, a list of all non-compliant Nasdaq companies and the reason(s) for such non-compliance is posted on Nasdaq's website at listingcenter.nasdaq.com. The Company will continue to be included in this list until it regains compliance. Nonetheless, the December 2025 Nasdaq Letter 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 of Nasdaq.

The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and the other Nasdaq listing requirements. Such available options will include effecting a reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, if necessary, in order to maintain the Company's Nasdaq listing.

**Intensity Therapeutics Granted 180-Day Extension to Regain Compliance with Nasdaq's Minimum Bid Price Requirement**

**Shelton, Conn., December 5, 2025 –** Intensity Therapeutics, Inc. ("Intensity" or "the Company") (Nasdaq: INTS), a late-stage clinical biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of novel intratumoral cancer therapies that are designed to kill tumors and increase immune system recognition of cancers using its proprietary non-covalent conjugation technology, today announced that it has been granted a 180 calendar day extension from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") to regain compliance with the Nasdaq's minimum $1.00 bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Rule") for continued listing on Nasdaq (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"), following the expiration of the initial 180 calendar day period to regain compliance on December 3, 2025, which was initially granted on June 6, 2025. The Company now has until June 1, 2026 to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The notification has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company's shares of common stock, which will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "INTS." To regain compliance with the Rule, the Company must maintain a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten (10) consecutive business days on or prior to the 180-day extension period, or June 1, 2026. The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and the end of the extension period and intends to take all appropriate actions to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the Rule prior to the end of the compliance period.

**About Intensity Therapeutics**

Intensity is a late-stage clinical biotechnology company whose novel engineered chemistry enables aqueous cytotoxic-containing drug formulations to mix and saturate a tumor's dense, high-fat, pressurized environment following direct intratumoral injection. As a result of the saturation, Intensity's clinical trials have demonstrated the ability of INT230-6 to kill tumors and elicit an adaptive immune response within days of injection, representing a new approach to cancer cell death that holds the potential to shift the treatment paradigm and turn many deadly cancers into chronic diseases even for malignancies that do not respond to conventional immunotherapy. Intensity has completed two clinical studies and enrolled over 200 patients using INT230-6; a Phase 1/2 dose escalation study in metastatic cancers including sarcomas (NCT03058289), and a Phase 2 randomized control clinical trial in locally advanced breast cancer (the "INVINCIBLE-2 Study") (NCT04781725) in women without undergoing chemotherapy prior to their surgery. The Company initiated a Phase 3 trial in soft tissue sarcoma (the "INVINCIBLE-3 Study") (NCT06263231), testing INT230-6 as second or third line monotherapy compared to the standard of care ("SOC") with overall survival as an endpoint. Intensity also initiated a Phase 2 study (the "INVINCIBLE-4 Study") (NCT06358573) in collaboration with the Swiss Cancer Group, formerly the Swiss Group for Clinical Cancer Research SAKK, as part of a Phase 2/3 program evaluating INT230-6 followed by the SOC immunochemotherapy and the SOC alone for patients with presurgical triple-negative breast cancer. Pathological complete response ("pCR") is the endpoint. For more information about Intensity, including publications, papers and posters about its novel approach to cancer therapeutics, visit www.intensitytherapeutics.com.

**About INT230-6**

INT230-6, Intensity's lead proprietary investigational product candidate, is designed for direct intratumoral injection. INT230-6 was discovered using Intensity's proprietary DfuseRx℠ technology platform. The drug consists of two proven, potent anti-cancer agents, cisplatin and vinblastine sulfate, and a diffusion and cell penetration enhancer molecule ("SHAO") that facilitates the dispersion of potent cytotoxic drugs throughout tumors, allowing the active agents to diffuse into cancer cells. These agents remain in the tumor, resulting in a favorable safety profile. In addition to local disease control and direct tumor killing, INT230-6 causes a release of a bolus of neoantigens specific to the malignancy, leading to immune system engagement and systemic anti-tumor effects. Importantly, these effects are mediated without immunosuppression, which often occurs with systemic chemotherapy.
