Centogene N.V.

 

As previously announced, on February 27, 2024, Centogene N.V. (the “Company”) received a notification from Nasdaq’s Listing Department notifying the Company of the determination of Nasdaq to delist the Company’s securities from the Nasdaq Global Market due to non-compliance with the minimum Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (“MVPHS”) continued listing requirement (Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(3)(C)), subject to the Company’s right to a hearing with the Nasdaq Listing Panel (the “Panel”). On April 30, 2024, the Company had a hearing regarding the delisting notice and presented a plan of compliance with respect to the MVPHS requirement consisting of the achievement of specific milestones related to the Company’s announced strategic alternative review process; specifically, progress with respect to a definitive binding agreement to sell the Company.

 

On May 13, 2024, Nasdaq granted the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq until August 26, 2024 (the “extension period”), subject to the Company achieving certain interim progress milestones with respect to its strategic alternative review process and regaining compliance with the MVPHS requirement as a result of the completion of a transaction by August 26, 2024. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve such milestones or regain compliance within the granted extension period. Further, there can be no assurance that the Panel will not reconsider the terms of such extension based upon events, conditions or circumstances that may exist or develop with the Company, which, in the opinion of the Panel, may make continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market inadvisable.
