Eloxx Pharmaceuticals Granted Extension by Nasdaq to Regain Compliance with the Market Value of Listed Securities Continued Listing Requirement

WATERTOWN, Mass., June 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Eloxx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ELOX), a leader in ribosomal RNA-targeted genetic therapies for rare diseases, today announced that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel has granted the Company’s extension request through July 30, 2023 to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires a listed company to have at least $35 million in market value of listed securities in order to qualify for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, conditioned upon achievement of certain milestones included in a plan of compliance which the Company previously submitted to the Hearings Panel.

“We are pleased that Nasdaq has granted us this extension and intend to take the necessary steps to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum market value of listed securities requirement,” said Sumit Aggarwal, President and CEO of Eloxx.

Since May 2023, Eloxx has made significant progress in advancing its pipeline of small molecule genetic therapies for the potential treatment in patients with rare genetic diseases harboring nonsense mutations:

  • Announced decision to advance ELX-02 into a pivotal study in Alport Syndrome patients with nonsense mutations:
    • Remission in proteinuria was observed in one of the first two patients in our Phase 2 trial of ELX-02.
    • The remission, which was achieved after four weeks of dosing, was sustained through the eight-week treatment period.
    • This result supports advancement of the program into a pivotal study, as patients with this rare disease rarely demonstrate a reduction in proteinuria.
  • Received clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to start Phase 1 study with ZKN-013: ZKN-013, our lead TURBO-ZM™ based molecule, is the first program developed from hit to lead for the potential treatment of recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), which is supported by preclinical data in models believed to have strong translation to the clinic.

On October 11, 2022, Nasdaq notified the Company that it no longer complied with the Market Value of Listed Securities requirement pursuant to Listing Rule 5550(b)(2). In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until April 10, 2023, to regain compliance. On April 11, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that it had determined to delist the Company’s shares as it did not comply with the requirements for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. A hearing on the matter was held on May 18, 2023. Based on the information presented, Nasdaq granted the Company’s request for an exception through July 30, 2023 to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements.
