Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On April 17, 2024, Scorpius Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice (the “Notice”) from the NYSE Regulation (the "Notice") stating that the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards of the NYSE American LLC (the "Exchange") under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide") because the Company failed to timely file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the "Delinquent Report"), which was due to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") no later than April 16, 2024 (the "Filing Delinquency").

As previously reported in the Company’s Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, the Company was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 within the prescribed period because of delays experienced by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The delays relate to recent finance staff turnover of those directly involved in preparing the Delinquent Report, and the need for additional time to complete the calculation of revenue recognition for certain contracts for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 1007 of the Company Guide. During the six month period from the date of the Filing Delinquency (the “Initial Cure Period”), the Exchange will monitor the Company and the status of the Delinquent Report and any subsequent delayed filings, including through contact with the Company, until the Filing Delinquency is cured. If the Company fails to cure the Filing Delinquency within the Initial Cure Period, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, grant an up to six-month additional cure period (the "Additional Cure Period"). The Company can regain compliance with the Exchange’s continued listing standards at any time during the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as applicable, by filing the Delinquent Report and any subsequent delayed filings with the SEC. If the Exchange determines that an Additional Cure Period is not appropriate, suspension and delisting procedures will commence in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 1010 of the Company Guide. If the Exchange determines that an Additional Cure Period is appropriate, and the Company fails to file the Delinquent Report and any subsequent delayed filings by the end of that period, suspension and delisting procedures will generally commence.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Exchange may, in its sole discretion, decide (i) not to afford the Company any Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, at all or (ii) at any time during the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, to truncate the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, and immediately commence suspension and delisting procedures if the Company is subject to delisting pursuant to any other provision of the Company Guide, including if the Exchange believes, in the its sole discretion that continued listing and trading of the Company’s securities on the Exchange is inadvisable or unwarranted in accordance with Sections 1001 through 1006 thereof.

The Company intends to regain compliance with the Exchange's continued listing standards. There can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable Exchange listing standards.

On April 22, 2024, the Company issued a press release announcing the receipt of the NYSE Notice. A copy of the press release is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Scorpius Holdings Announces Receipt of Filing Delinquency Notification

Reaffirms commitment to regaining compliance with the
NYSE American continued listing standards

Durham, NC – April 22, 2024 –Scorpius Holdings, Inc (NYSE American: SCPX), an integrated contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO), received an official notice of noncompliance (the “NYSE American Notice”) from NYSE Regulation stating that the Company is not in compliance with NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American” or the “Exhange”) continued listing standards (the “Filing Delinquency Notification”) under the timely filing criteria included in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide") due to the failure to timely file the Company’s Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2023 (the “Delinquent Report”) by the filing due date of April 16, 2024 (the “Filing Delinquency”).

As previously reported in the Company’s Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 filed with the SEC on April 1, 2024, the Company was unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, within the prescribed period because of delays experienced by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements. The delays relate to recent finance staff turnover of those directly involved in preparing the Delinquent Report, and the need for additional time to complete the calculation of revenue recognition for certain contracts for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Jeff Wolf, CEO of Scorpius, stated, “We regret the delay in filing our Form 10-K, due in part to substantive changes within our organization. We expect to file our year-end financial results in short order. Most importantly, we remain committed to maintaining the highest standards of financial reporting and corporate governance.”

The Company is now subject to the procedures and requirements set forth in Section 1007 of the NYSE American Company Guide. Within five days of the date of the Filing Delinquency Notification, the Company was required to (a) contact the Exchange to discuss the status of the Delinquent Report and (b) issue a press release disclosing the occurrence of the Filing Delinquency, the reason for the Filing Delinquency and, if known, the anticipated date such Filing Delinquency will be cured via the filing or refiling of the applicable report, as the case may be.

During the six-month period from the date of the Filing Delinquency (the "Initial Cure Period"), the NYSE will monitor the Company and the status of the Delinquent Report and any subsequent delayed filings, including through contact with the Company, until the Filing Delinquency is cured. If the Company fails to cure the Filing Delinquency within the Initial Cure Period, the Exchange may, in the Exchange’s sole discretion, allow the Company’s securities to be traded for up to an additional six-month period (the "Additional Cure Period") depending on the Company’s specific circumstances. If the Exchange determines that an Additional Cure Period is not appropriate, suspension and delisting procedures will commence in accordance with the procedures set out in Section 1010 of the NYSE American Company Guide. If the Exchange determines that an Additional Cure Period of up to six months is appropriate and the Company fails to file its Delinquent Report and any subsequent delayed filings by the end of that period, suspension and delisting procedures will generally commence. An issuer is not eligible to follow the procedures outlined in Section 1009 with respect to these criteria.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Exchange may in its sole discretion decide (i) not to afford an issuer any Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, at all or (ii) at any time during the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, to truncate the Initial Cure Period or Additional Cure Period, as the case may be, and immediately commence suspension and delisting procedures if the Company is subject to delisting pursuant to any other provision of the Company Guide, including if the Exchange believes, in the NYSE’s sole discretion, that continued listing and trading of an issuer's securities on the Exchange is inadvisable or unwarranted in accordance with Sections 1001-1006 hereof.

The Company intends to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards. There can be no assurance that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with all applicable NYSE American continued listing standards.
