Impel Pharmaceuticals Files for Chapter 11 to Facilitate Sale Impel Pharmaceuticals Inc. (OTCPK:IMPL) announced that it is pursuing a sale of the company and has entered into an agreement with JN Bidco to serve as the "stalking horse" bidder to acquire the company and its assets. To facilitate an orderly sale process, the company has filed voluntary petitions to commence chapter 11 proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, which will provide interested parties the opportunity to submit higher and better offers. The decision to file for Chapter 11 protection follows the strategic review process that Impel announced in October during which the company announced the exploration of a wide range of options including potential sale of assets of the Company, a sale of all the company, a merger or other strategic transaction. Impel intends to continue operating as usual throughout the court-supervised sale process, including providing wages and benefits to employees. To enable this, the company has filed certain customary "First Day" motions with the Court. Upon Court approval of these First Day motions, the company expects to minimize the impact of the sale process on the company's customers, employees, and other key stakeholders. Impel seeks to complete the sale process in the first quarter of 2024, with any sale subject to Court approval. Duyuru • Dec 19

Impel Pharmaceuticals Receives Non-Compliance Notice From Nasdaq As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 17, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), Impel Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) received two written notifications on April 11, 2023, from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that for the preceding 30 consecutive business days, the Company’s Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) was below the minimum of $50 million required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”) and the Company’s Market Value of Publicly-held Securities (“MVPHS”) was below the minimum $15 million required for continued listing on Nasdaq pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) (the “MVPHS Requirement”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C) and 5810(c)(3)(D) (the “Rules”), the Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until October 9, 2023, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement and the MVPHS Requirement. Subsequently, on October 10, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Staff indicating that the Company had not regained compliance with the Rules (the “Delisting Notice”), and that accordingly, its securities will be delisted from Nasdaq.

Impel Pharmaceuticals Inc. Receives Non-Compliance Notice from Nasdaq On September 28, 2023, Impel Pharmaceuticals Inc. received notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, because the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock has fallen below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 26, 2024, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to March 26, 2024. If the Company does not regain compliance by March 26, 2024, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day grace period if it applies to transfer the listing of its common stock to The Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, the Company would 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 minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Nasdaq staff determines that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible for such additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would have the right to appeal a determination to delist its common stock, and the common stock would remain listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market until the completion of the appeal process. The Company is considering actions that it may take in response to the Notice in order to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements, but no decision about a response has been made at this time. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.

Impel Pharmaceuticals Announces to Present New Real-World Data for Trudhesa® at 65th Annual Scientific Meeting of American Headache Society Impel Pharmaceuticals announced it will present new real-world data adding to the growing body of evidence supporting Trudhesa® (dihydroergotamine mesylate [DHE]) nasal spray (0.725 mg per spray) as an effective acute therapy for migraine management. The findings will be featured in two poster presentations during the 65th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Headache Society (AHS), taking place June 15-18, 2023, in Austin, Texas. Preliminary real-world findings from an assessment of medical and pharmacy claims data for patients with migraine who were treated with Trudhesa in the United States provide new evidence suggesting that concomitant preventive (with the exception of the anti-CGRP monoclonal antibody class) and acute medication use generally decreases in patients taking Trudhesa between the 12-month baseline and 90-day follow-up period. Importantly, an increase in antinausea medications was not observed following Trudhesa use, whereas these medications are commonly used with DHE administered intravenously. A second poster on real-world demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as baseline comorbidities among patients with migraine who were treated with Trudhesa, found that most patients were females between the ages of 36 and 45 years, and had comorbidities that include headache syndromes other than migraine, other neurological conditions, other pain disorders, sleep disorders, gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, and psychiatric disorders. In contrast to other epidemiological studies, in this real-world patient population, GI comorbidities were more common, which may be due to many of these patients not being able to achieve migraine relief with oral routes of administration. Trudhesa uses Impel’s proprietary Precision Olfactory Delivery (POD®) technology and is the first and only migraine nasal spray which delivers DHE – a proven, well-established migraine therapeutic – quickly to the bloodstream through the vascular-rich upper nasal space. Trudhesa bypasses the gut and reduces potential absorption issues, offering rapid, sustained, and consistent symptom relief without nausea commonly associated with injection or infusion DHE – even when administered hours after the onset of a migraine attack.
