There won’t be news related to a scientific breakthrough, which if they continued their research could have occurred this winter, now investors have to hope for a merger or sale of company as best scenarios, they have enough money for 4th quarter 2023, but they don’t want to file a share registration because it would halve the SP and could be delisted, major losses reported in filing, maybe they find a buyer:
“Further clinical development is on hold pending outcome of strategic review — As part of Graybug’s previously announced cost-containment measures, all clinical development of GB-102, GB-401, and GB-501 has been put on hold to conserve capital pending outcome of its strategic review.”
“On June 28, 2022 we announced that we would conduct a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives focused on maximizing shareholder value. As part of our review, we are exploring the potential for an acquisition, company sale, merger, divestiture of assets, private placement of equity securities, or other strategic transactions. On August 11, 2022, we announced that all clinical development of GB-102, GB-401, and GB-501 had been put on hold to conserve capital pending the outcome of our strategic review.
“We expect to continue to incur net losses for the foreseeable future, and, subject to our strategic review, if we continue to operate our business as we have historically, we expect our research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures to continue to increase. In particular, we expect our expenses to increase if we continue our development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates, and begin to commercialize any approved products, as well as hire additional personnel, develop commercial infrastructure, pay fees to outside consultants, lawyers and accountants, and incur increased costs associated with being a public company, such as expenses related to services associated with maintaining compliance with Nasdaq listing rules and SEC reporting requirements, insurance and investor relations. If we continue to operate our business as we have historically our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year, depending upon the timing of our clinical trials and our expenditures on other research and development activities. Cash used to fund operating expenses is impacted by the timing of when we pay these expenses, as reflected in the change in our accounts payable and accrued research and development and other current liabilities.
Recent Developments
Minimum Bid Price
On June 16, 2022, we received a written notification (the “Notice Letter”) from Nasdaq indicating that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the closing bid price for our common stock was below the $1.00 per share requirement for the 30 prior consecutive business days which is the minimum closing price required to maintain continued listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). The Notice Letter stated that we had 180 calendar days, or until December 13, 2022, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement.
On July 21, 2022, we received a written notification from Nasdaq indicating that we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price of our common stock during the preceding ten consecutive business days, July 7, 2022 to July 20, 2022, had been at $1.00 per share or greater. Our continued compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement is dependent on our share price and there can be no assurance that we will continue to satisfy Nasdaq’s minimum financial and other requirements in future periods.”
