Management provides Nasdaq Hearing Panel with a comprehensive executable plan for long term compliance LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J., July 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IMUNON, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMNN), a clinical-stage company in Phase 3 development of its DNA-mediated immunotherapy, today announced that the Nasdaq Hearing Panel has granted its request for an exception to complete its compliance plan, allowing the Company to maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Following a comprehensive review of IMUNON’s strategies to regain compliance, the Nasdaq Hearing Panel stated that IMUNON has already achieved compliance with the Equity Rule through recent fundraising activities. To ensure sustained compliance with the minimum shareholder equity requirement and to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the Company will implement the compliance plan recently presented to the Hearing Panel. The Panel has approved an exception tailored to the time needed for IMUNON to regain compliance, rather than the full 180-day period initially requested. The Company is committed to meeting these requirements within the designated timeframe. Should additional time be necessary, IMUNON may submit a request for an extension to the Panel. “We are pleased with the Nasdaq Hearing Panel’s decision, which reflects confidence in our straightforward and executable compliance plan,” said Stacy Lindborg, Ph.D., President and CEO of IMUNON. “Our management is fully dedicated to implementing our well thought out plan and taking the necessary steps to maintain our Nasdaq listing. I have every confidence our actions will continue to provide a platform that will deliver long-term value to our shareholders.” About IMUNON IMUNON is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on advancing a portfolio of innovative treatments that harness the body’s natural mechanisms to generate safe, effective and durable responses across a broad array of human diseases, constituting a differentiating approach from conventional therapies. IMUNON is developing its non-viral DNA technology across its modalities. The first modality, TheraPlas®, is developed for the gene-based delivery of cytokines and other therapeutic proteins in the treatment of solid tumors where an immunological approach is deemed promising. The second modality, PlaCCine®, is developed for the gene delivery of viral antigens that can elicit a strong immunological response. The Company’s lead clinical program, IMNN-001, is a DNA-based immunotherapy for the localized treatment of advanced ovarian cancer that has completed multiple clinical trials including one Phase 2 clinical trial (OVATION 2). IMNN-001 works by instructing the body to produce safe and durable levels of powerful cancer-fighting molecules, such as interleukin-12 and interferon gamma, at the tumor site. Additionally, the Company has completed dosing in a first-in-human study of its COVID-19 booster vaccine (IMNN-101). The Company will continue to leverage these modalities and to advance, either directly or through partnership, the technological frontier of plasmid DNA to better serve patients with difficult-to-treat conditions.
