Altamira Therapeutics (Nasdaq:CYTO) announced on October 4, 2024, that it received a letter from Nasdaq's Listing Qualifications Department on September 30, 2024. The letter stated that Altamira no longer complied with Rule 5550(a)(2) of Nasdaq's Listing Rules, which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.
