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

On March 8, 2024, Plus Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it no longer complies with the requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) to maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Equity Standard”) or the alternative requirements of having a market value of listed securities of $35 million or net income from continuing operations of $500,000 in the most recently completed fiscal year or two of the last three most recently completed fiscal years (the “Alternative Standards”). The Notice states that the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, disclosed stockholders’ equity of ($1,348,000) as of December 31, 2023, and that, as of March 8, 2024, the Company did not meet the Alternative Standards.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq is providing the Company 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until April 22, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Equity Standard (the “Compliance Plan”). If the Compliance Plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until September 4, 2024, to regain compliance with the Equity Standard. If the Company does not timely submit a Compliance Plan or if such plan is not accepted, or if it is accepted and the Company does not regain compliance in the required timeframe, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting.

The Company plans to timely submit a Compliance Plan, is evaluating its options for complying with the Equity Standard or the Alternatives Standards, including pursuing additional capital raising opportunities, and will continue to monitor its stockholders’ equity. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain or maintain compliance with the Equity Standard or the Alternatives Standards.
