Allurion Technologies (OTCID: ALUR) appeals NYSE delisting and leans on new FDA approval
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Allurion Technologies received notice that the New York Stock Exchange will begin proceedings to delist its common stock and warrants after the company failed to meet the NYSE rule requiring an average global market capitalization of at least $15,000,000 over 30 consecutive trading days. Trading on the NYSE was suspended after market close on March 6, 2026, and the shares now trade on the OTCID Market under the same symbols while Allurion appeals the decision.
The company recently obtained U.S. FDA approval for its Allurion Gastric Balloon System, featuring the Allurion Smart Capsule, and has presented the NYSE with a multi-step plan to regain compliance or qualify for listing on NYSE American, strengthen its balance sheet, and fund U.S. commercialization of the Smart Capsule. Management cautions there is no assurance the appeal or relisting efforts will succeed, and notes that liquidity, trading volume and broker quoting on the OTC market may be limited.
Positive
- Recent FDA approval provides growth catalyst: The company obtained U.S. FDA approval for the Allurion Gastric Balloon System featuring the Allurion Smart Capsule on February 20, 2026, and is using this as the foundation of a detailed plan to strengthen its balance sheet and fund U.S. commercialization.
Negative
- NYSE initiates delisting due to low market cap: The NYSE determined to delist Allurion’s common stock and warrants after the company failed to maintain the required average global market capitalization of at least $15,000,000 over 30 consecutive trading days, leading to suspension of NYSE trading and migration to the OTCID Market.
Insights
NYSE delisting move is clearly negative despite an active remediation plan.
Allurion Technologies has fallen below the NYSE’s continued listing requirement for an average global market capitalization of at least $15,000,000 over 30 trading days. The exchange has suspended trading and begun delisting proceedings for both the common stock and the associated warrants.
The shares now trade on the OTCID Market, which typically entails lower liquidity, wider spreads and reduced institutional participation compared with a major exchange. The company has appealed and is executing a plan, tied partly to recent FDA approval of the Allurion Gastric Balloon System, to regain NYSE compliance or relist on NYSE American and bolster its balance sheet.
Outcome uncertainty remains high because the appeal may fail and there is no assurance the securities will continue trading on OTCID with sufficient volume. The delisting risk, combined with potential reputation and volatility effects, makes this development materially adverse from a capital markets and financing perspective, even as FDA approval offers longer-term commercial potential.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 6, 2026, the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) notified Allurion Technologies, Inc. (“Allurion” or the “Company”) that it has determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase 0.056818 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $202.50 per share of Common Stock (the “Warrants”), as a result of the Company’s non-compliance with Rule 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual that requires listing companies to maintain an average global market capitalization of at least $15 million over a period of 30 consecutive trading days. Trading in the Common Stock on the NYSE was suspended after market close on March 6, 2026. The Company has appealed this delisting determination. If the Company is unsuccessful in its appeal, the Company expects the NYSE will file a Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange (the “SEC”), which would result in the delisting of the Company’s Common Stock and Warrants from the NYSE on the tenth day after the Form 25 is filed.
As a result of the suspension in trading and delisting process pending the Company’s appeal, the Common Stock is trading on the OTCID Market (the “OTCID Market”). The Company intends to apply to list on a higher-tier market operated by the OTC Market Group, Inc. under its current symbols "ALUR" and “ALUR.WS”.
The Company can provide no assurance that the Common Stock or Warrants will continue to trade on this market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of the Common Stock and Warrants on this market, or whether the trading volume of the Common Stock and Warrants will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market for existing and potential holders of the Common Stock and Warrants.
The transition to the OTCID Market is not expected to affect the Company’s business operations or its current SEC reporting obligations.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 12, 2026, the Company issued a press release in connection with the delisting notice of its Common Stock and Warrants from the NYSE and its appeal of the delisting determination described above.
As discussed in the press release, the Company's recent FDA approval of the Allurion Gastric Balloon System, featuring the Allurion Smart Capsule, catalyzed a detailed plan to regain compliance with NYSE listing standards or to relist its securities on the NYSE American, strengthen its balance sheet, and fund commercialization of the Allurion Smart Capsule in the U.S. This plan has been shared with the NYSE and is currently being executed by the Company's management.
The press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

Allurion Advances Plan to Regain Listing Compliance
Files appeal to NYSE on decision to initiate delisting proceedings
Company’s recent FDA approval catalyzes plan to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of NYSE or initial listing requirements of the NYSE American
NATICK, Mass. – March 12, 2026 – Allurion Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCID: ALUR), a pioneer in metabolically healthy weight loss, announced today that it has appealed the decision by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) to initiate delisting proceedings against Allurion’s securities pursuant to Section 802.01B of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual, which requires listed companies to maintain an average global market capitalization over a consecutive 30 trading day period of at least $15,000,000.
The Company’s recent FDA approval of the Allurion Gastric Balloon System, featuring the Allurion Smart Capsule, catalyzed a detailed plan to regain compliance with NYSE listing standards or to relist its securities on the NYSE American, strengthen its balance sheet, and fund commercialization of the Allurion Smart Capsule in the U.S. This plan has been shared with the NYSE and is currently being executed by the Company’s management.
“We have been in regular contact with the NYSE about our step-by-step plan to regain compliance with its listing standards or initiate listing on the NYSE American,” said Dr. Shantanu Gaur, Founder and Chief Executive Officer. “The first step in our plan was receiving FDA approval, which was received on February 20, 2026. We are leveraging this approval to touch off the remaining parts of our plan to ultimately regain compliance or relist.
“We are confident we can execute this plan, setting up Allurion to capitalize on our U.S. FDA approval and enabling us to treat the more than 100 million Americans suffering from obesity, 20 million of whom have already tried a GLP-1 but discontinued use,” Dr. Gaur concluded.
While the Company has appealed the NYSE’s decision and is working diligently to regain compliance with the NYSE or relist on the NYSEA, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful. The Company’s securities are trading on the OTCID exchange while the Company works to execute its above-referenced plan.
