This prospectus supplement No. 1 supplements the prospectus dated December 15, 2023 (the “Prospectus”), which covers the offer and resale by the selling stockholder identified in this prospectus of up to an aggregate of 4,134,201 shares of our common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), consisting of (i) 1,269,210 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Series A-1 Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, (ii) 814,467 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Series A-1 Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, which Series A-1 Warrants are issuable upon exercise of Series T Warrants, assuming that the Series T Warrants have been exercised in full by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price (as defined in the Series T Warrants) in cash, (iii) 814,467 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Series A-2 Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, which Series A-2 Warrants are issuable upon exercise of Series T Warrants, assuming that the Series T Warrants have been exercised in full by paying the Aggregate Exercise Price in cash, (iv) 814,467 shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Series T Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (collectively, the “Warrants”), and (v) 421,590 shares of Common Stock issued upon the exercise of Exchange Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock. We registered these shares issued or issuable upon exercise of the Warrants on behalf of the selling stockholder, to be offered and sold by them from time to time.
We are not selling any shares of Common Stock under the Prospectus and will not receive any proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholder of such shares. We are paying the cost of registering the shares of Common Stock covered by the Prospectus as well as various related expenses. The selling stockholder is responsible for all selling commissions, transfer taxes and other costs related to the offer and sale of their shares.
Sales of the shares by the selling stockholder may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices, at negotiated prices and/or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The selling stockholder may sell shares directly or to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder, the purchasers of the shares, or both. The selling stockholder may sell any, all or none of the securities offered by the Prospectus and we do not know when or in what amount the selling stockholder may sell their shares of Common Stock hereunder following the effective date of the registration statement of which the Prospectus forms a part. We provide more information about how the selling stockholder may sell or otherwise dispose of their shares of Common Stock in the section titled “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 119 of the Prospectus.

Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 5, 2024, GRI Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Letter”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), indicating that the Company no longer meets the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock was less than $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days. The Letter is in addition to the previously disclosed letter received on November 22, 2023 from the Staff notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market (the “Notice”) based on the information provided in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires that companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market with a market value of listed securities of less than $35,000,000 and annual net income of less than $500,000 maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the “Stockholders’ Equity Requirement”). Neither the Letter nor Notice has an immediate effect on the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a 180-calendar day period, or until July 3, 2024 (the “Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The Minimum Bid Price Requirement will be met if the Company’s common stock has a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during the 180-calendar day period, unless Nasdaq exercises its discretion to extend such 10‑day period. If the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Date, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day period, subject to satisfying the conditions in the applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules. If, before the Compliance Date, the Company’s common stock has a closing bid price of $0.10 per share or less for ten consecutive trading days, the Staff will issue a Staff Delisting Determination under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810 with respect to the Company’s common stock.
The Company was also provided 45 calendar days, or until January 6, 2024, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement (the “Compliance Plan”). If the Compliance Plan is determined to be acceptable to the Staff, the Staff would have the discretion to grant the Company an extension of 180-calendar days from the date of the Notice to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement or that the Compliance Plan will be accepted or that, if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance. If the Staff does not accept the Compliance Plan, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that the Compliance Plan has been rejected and that the Company’s common stock is subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel. The Company is monitoring the closing bid price of its common stock and will consider options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, including holding the previously disclosed special meeting of stockholders to be held on January 19, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”) to vote on the proposed reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock.
