LEXINGTON, Mass., May 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- T2 Biosystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO), a leader in the rapid detection of sepsis-causing pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes, today announced that on May 5, 2022 it received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market informing the Company that its shares of common stock have failed to comply with the $1.00 minimum bid price required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a) (1), and, as a result, the Company’s shares are subject to delisting. The letter further stated that the Company may appeal the Nasdaq Staff delisting determination to a Nasdaq listing qualifications hearings panel (the “Panel”).

The Company has filed an appeal and hearing request to the Nasdaq Staff’s determination which will stay the delisting of the Company’s shares of common stock from The Nasdaq Global Market pending the Panel’s decision. The Nasdaq Staff has informed the Company that the delisting action has been stayed, pending a final written decision by the Panel, and the hearing date has been set for June 2, 2022. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing; however, the Company intends to present a plan to regain compliance to the Panel that includes a discussion of the events that it believes will enable it to regain compliance in this timeframe and a commitment to effect a reverse stock split, if necessary.

“We are cognizant of the value to our shareholders of the listing of our shares on Nasdaq given the liquidity and pricing efficiency that the exchange provides and are taking steps to ensure continued listing,” stated John Sperzel, Chairman and CEO of T2 Biosystems.
