Nasdaq To File A Form 25-NSE with the SEC, To Remove Histogen's Securities from Listing and Registration On September 18, 2023, Histogen Inc. (the “Company”) previously announced that its board of directors (the “Board”) approved a plan of liquidation and dissolution of the Company (the “Plan of Dissolution”), subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders. The Company also announced that it had discontinued all clinical development programs and implemented a reduction in its workforce, including the termination of all employees except for two remaining employees effective September 30, 2023 (“Workforce Reduction”). In light of the Plan of Dissolution and Workforce Reduction, the Company was notified on September 26, 2023 by the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, based upon the Staff’s determination that the Company is a “public shell” as that term is defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101, trading of the Company’s common stock will be suspended from trading at the opening of business on October 5, 2023 unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to address the deficiencies and present a plan to regain compliance. The Company does not plan to request a hearing and, therefore, expects that trading in the Company's stock will be suspended upon the opening of business on October 5, 2023. Thereafter, Nasdaq will file a Form 25-NSE with the SEC, which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Nasdaq has not specified the exact date on which the Form 25-NSE will be filed. Aankondiging • Sep 22

Histogen Intends to File Certificate of Dissolution, Delist its Shares of Common Stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market Histogen Inc. announced that its board of directors, after extensive consideration of potential strategic alternatives, has approved and adopted a Plan of Dissolution (‘Plan of Dissolution’) that would include the distribution of remaining cash to stockholders following an orderly wind down of the company’s operations, including any proceeds from the potential sale of any pipeline assets. In order to reduce costs and in connection with the Plan of Dissolution, the company has discontinued all clinical development programs and reduced its workforce, including the anticipated termination of most employees by the end of September. ‘The Board of Directors and management devoted substantial time and effort in identifying and pursuing various opportunities, but we were unable to complete a transaction that would allow us the potential to enhance stockholder value,’ stated Steven J. Mento, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Histogen. On September 18, 2023, Histogen’s board of directors approved the liquidation and dissolution of the company pursuant to the Plan of Dissolution, subject to stockholder approval. The company intends to call a special meeting of its stockholders in the fourth quarter of 2023 to seek approval of the Plan of Dissolution and will file proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission (‘SEC’) as soon as practicable. The Plan of Dissolution contemplates an orderly wind down of Histogen’s business and operations. If Histogen’s stockholders approve the Plan of Dissolution, Histogen intends to file a certificate of dissolution, delist its shares of common stock from The Nasdaq Capital Market, satisfy or resolve its remaining liabilities and obligations, including but not limited to contingent liabilities and claims and costs associated with the dissolution, make reasonable provisions for unknown claims and liabilities, attempt to convert all of its remaining assets into cash, and make distributions to its stockholders of any remaining cash available for distribution based upon their proportionate ownership at the time of the filing of the certificate of dissolution, subject to applicable legal requirements. Upon the filing of the certificate of dissolution, Histogen intends to cease trading in its common stock, close its stock transfer books and discontinue recording transfers of shares of its capital stock, in accordance with applicable law. Histogen currently expects that its existing capital resources together with the anticipated net proceeds from any sale of pipeline assets will enable it to meet its remaining liabilities and obligations with sufficient reserves. The amount actually distributable, however, may vary substantially from any estimate provided by the company based on a number of factors. Aankondiging • Jun 06
Histogen Receives Letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Regarding Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) On June 5, 2023, Histogen Inc. received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the 30 consecutive business day period between April 21, 2023, through June 2, 2023, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 4, 2023 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). In order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum bid price requirement, the Company’s common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 for at least ten consecutive business days during the Compliance Period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by the end of the Compliance Period, the Company may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, the Company may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance. However, if it appears to Nasdaq that the Company will be unable to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is not otherwise eligible for the additional cure period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market. Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2), there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with that rule or will otherwise be in compliance with other listing criteria of The Nasdaq Capital Market.
