Minerva Surgical, Inc. Announces Voluntary SEC Deregistration and Nasdaq Delisting Minerva Surgical, Inc. announced its voluntary decision to deregister its common stock (the “Common Stock”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and delist its Common Stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”). The Company intends to file a Form 25 with the SEC to remove its Common Stock from listing on Nasdaq and to deregister its Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), on or about December 26, 2023, and as a result, the Company expects that the last trading day of its Common Stock on Nasdaq will be on or about December 28, 2023. The Company also expects to file a Form 15 with the SEC on or about January 4, 2024, to commence the process of terminating the registration of its Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to immediately suspend the Company’s reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, which refer to as “going dark”. Minerva Surgical expects that the voluntary delisting from Nasdaq and “going dark” will eliminate the effort required to maintain compliance as an Exchange Act reporting company, and save the Company significant time and money in General and Administrative expenses. These time and expense savings can be used to execute the Company’s operating plan, thus better enabling the Company to focus on its customers, its business and the patients whose lives are enhanced as a result of its work. With a more streamlined cost profile, the Company will be better able to invest in its business and focus on reducing its cash burn, and thus provide a future benefit to the Company’s stockholders. From an operational standpoint, delisting from Nasdaq and “going dark” is expected to minimize Company management attention related to its reporting obligations associated with being a Nasdaq and Exchange Act reporting company, and enable increased focus on longer-term value creation. The Board considered the fact that the Company’s Common Stock would become more illiquid as a result of “going dark”, and that stockholders may experience difficulties in selling their shares of Common Stock. However, the decision to proceed took into consideration the current as well as potential future costs of remaining a listed company versus the benefits to the longer term health of the Company. Minerva Surgical stockholders who are concerned about liquidity may be able to sell their shares of Common Stock before the delisting becomes effective. Reported Earnings • Nov 16
