LEXINGTON, Mass., May 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO), a leader in the rapid detection of sepsis-causing pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes, today announced that on May 5, 2022 it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing the Company that its shares of common stock have failed to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a) (1), and, as a result, the Company’s shares are subject to delisting. The letter further stated that the Company may appeal the Nasdaq Staff delisting determination to a Nasdaq listing qualifications hearings panel (the “Panel”).
