REHOVOT, Israel, Oct. 31, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Steakholder Foods Ltd. (Nasdaq: STKH), an international deep-tech food company at the forefront of the cultivated meat industry, today announced that it has received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications, indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.

The letter, which has no immediate effect on the Company's Nasdaq listing or the trading of its American Depositary Shares (ADSs), states that the Company has a compliance period of 180 calendar days (until April 29, 2024) to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company can regain compliance if, at any time during this 180-day period, the closing bid price of its ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, in which case the Company will be provided with a written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.

The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs to allow a reasonable period for the price to rebound from its recent decline, while also considering its available options to regain compliance, including changing the ratio between its ADSs and ordinary shares.

In the event the Company does not regain compliance after the initial 180-day period, the Company may then be eligible for an additional time if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company cannot demonstrate compliance by the end of the 180-day period, the Nasdaq's staff will notify the Company that its ordinary shares are subject to delisting.

During the grace period, as may be extended, the ADS will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "STKH".
