Nasdaq Hearings Panel Grants Therapix Biosciences Extension to Regain Compliance With Listing Requirements

TEL AVIV, Israel, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Therapix Biosciences Ltd. (Nasdaq: TRPX) (the "Company"), a specialty, clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focusing on the development of cannabinoid-based treatments announced today that on April 8, 2020, it received notice that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") granted the Company an extension until May 18, 2020, to regain compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on Nasdaq, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the "Stockholders' Equity Requirement").

Further, effective April 16, 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting related market conditions, Nasdaq has elected to provide temporary relief from the continued listing bid price, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule") and market value of publicly held shares listing requirements ("Price-Based Requirements"), by tolling compliance through June 30, 2020 (the "Tolling Period"). As a result, companies presently in compliance periods for any Price-Based Requirements, will remain at that same stage of the process immediately after the Tolling Period, starting July 1, 2020.

Accordingly, upon reinstatement of the Price-Based Requirements, the Company will have until November 5, 2020, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. In order to evidence compliance with the Bid Price Rule, the Company must evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days (at any time, during or after the Tolling Period).

The Company is diligently working to evidence compliance with both the Bid Price Rule and Stockholders' Equity Rule; however, there can be no assurance that it will be able to do demonstrate compliance and satisfy Nasdaq's conditions for continued listing.
