Item 8.01 Other Events.
On March 6, 2024, SeaStar Medical Holding Corporation (the “Company”) received a letter from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock
Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) granting the Company a temporary exception until June 24, 2024, subject to certain milestones, to regain compliance with the
Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) by evidencing a closing bid price of $1.00 or more per
share for a minimum of ten consecutive trading sessions.
As previously reported, the Company received deficiency letters from the Staff of Nasdaq notifying the Company that for 30 consecutive
business days preceding June 26, 2023, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) was
below $1.00 per share, which did not meet the requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the Minimum Bid Price Rule, and has since not regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
In response to such deficiency letters, the Company timely submitted a hearing request before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, and also provided the
Nasdaq Hearings Panel with a plan to regain compliance, which plan included conducting a reverse stock split of the Company’s Common Stock if necessary, no later than June 7, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its Common Stock and consider available options if its Common Stock does not trade at
a level likely to result in the Company’s regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule by June 24, 2024. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule or that the Company will
otherwise be or remain in compliance with the other applicable Nasdaq listing standards.
