ENZ Enzo Biochem Inc

Enzo Biochem, Inc. (NYSE: ENZ) (“Enzo” or the “Company”) today announced that it was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that it is not in compliance with Section 802.01B and Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because (i) its 30 trading-day average market capitalization was less than $50 million and its last reported stockholder’s equity as of October 31, 2024 was less than $50 million and (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) was less than $1.00 over a consecutive 30 trading-day period. The Company has a period of 18 months to cure the market capitalization and stockholder’s equity deficiencies and a period of six months to cure the average closing stock price deficiency. The notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Common Stock.

With regards to the average closing stock price deficiency, the Company can regain compliance at any time within the six-month period following receipt of the NYSE's non-compliance notice if, on the last trading day of any calendar month during the cure period, the Company has (i) a closing share price of at least $1.00 and (ii) an average closing share price of at least $1.00 over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. Under the NYSE’s listing rules, the price condition will be deemed cured if the price promptly exceeds $1.00 per share and the price remains above that level for at least the following 30 consecutive trading days.

The Company will notify the NYSE by January 23, 2025, that it intends to submit a plan by February 21, 2025, to cure the market capitalization, stockholder’s equity and average closing stock price deficiencies and to return to compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards. The Company intends to consider all available alternatives to cure the deficiencies identified by the NYSE.

The Common Stock will continue to be listed and trade on the NYSE, subject to the Company’s ongoing compliance with the NYSE's other continued listing standards.
