Biophytis to take appropriate measures after receiving Nasdaq deficiency notice

Paris (France), Cambridge (Massachusetts, U.S.), January 12th, 2023, 8am CET – Biophytis SA (NasdaqCM: BPTS, Euronext Growth Paris: ALBPS) (the “Company” or “Biophytis”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on the development of therapeutics that slow the degenerative processes associated with aging, including severe respiratory failure in patients suffering from COVID-19, received a deficiency notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company has not filed its financial information for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 on a Form 6-K (the “Filing”) and as a result the Company no longer complies with Nasdaq’s listing rules for continued listing set forth in the Listing Rule 5250(c)(2).

Nasdaq has informed the Company that it has 60 calendar days or until March 6, 2023 to submit a plan (the “Plan”) as definitive as possible to regain compliance with the Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s Plan to regain compliance in that respect, Nasdaq can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the prescribed Filing due date or until June 28, 2023 to regain compliance.

In determining whether to accept the Company’s Plan, Nasdaq will consider such things as the likelihood that the Filing and any subsequent periodic filings can be made within the 180-day period, the Company’s past compliance history, the reasons for the late filing, other corporate events that may occur within the Nasdaq review period, the Company’s overall financial condition and its public disclosures.

The Company is currently working on the Plan to regain compliance with respect to the Listing Rule 5250(c)(2) to meet the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. It intends to submit such Plan to Nasdaq as soon as practicable prior to March 6, 2023.
