WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eagle Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq and OTCMKTS: EGRX) (the “Company” or “Eagle”) today announced that it has notified The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) of its intent to file its own Form 25 (Notification of Removal of Listing) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to complete the previously-disclosed process to delist the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), from the Nasdaq Global Market in advance of Nasdaq’s anticipated filing of a Form 25 with the SEC.
As previously disclosed, the Common Stock was suspended from trading on Nasdaq as of October 3, 2024, pursuant to a final delisting notice sent to the Company by the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq due to the Company’s inability to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The Common Stock has been trading on the OTC Expert Market since October 4, 2024 in connection with its suspension from trading on Nasdaq. The Company currently anticipates that it will file its own Form 25 with the SEC on or after November 25, 2024, which would complete the process for delisting its Common Stock from Nasdaq when the Form 25 becomes effective no earlier than ten days thereafter. The Form 25 would also serve to deregister the Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, effective 90 days thereafter, which would reduce certain SEC reporting obligations.
