As previously reported, on April 20, 2023, Qualigen Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, as a result of the Company’s delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Form 10-K”), the Company was no longer in compliance with the timely filing requirements for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
On May 2, 2023, the Company filed the Form 10-K with the SEC and was subsequently notified by Nasdaq on May 4, 2023 that it had regained compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rule 5250(c)(1) as a result thereof and that the matter is now closed.
