Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting
or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As
previously disclosed, on May 16, 2024, Mustang Bio, Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by the Listing Qualifications
Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the bid price for the Company’s common
stock had closed below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and, as a result, the Company no longer satisfied Nasdaq Listing
Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was
granted a 180-calendar day grace period to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule, through November 12, 2024.
The
Company did not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by November 12, 2024, and, accordingly, on November 13, 2024,
the Staff issued a delist determination with respect to the deficiency, as required by the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Notwithstanding the above,
and as previously disclosed, on October 29, 2024, the Company attended a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”),
at which the Company presented its plan to evidence compliance with both the Bid Price Rule and the $2.5 million stockholders’
equity requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Equity Rule,” and together with the Bid Price
Rule, the “Rules”).
By
decision dated November 8, 2024, the Panel granted the Company’s request for an extension through January 31, 2025, to
demonstrate compliance with the Bid Price Rule, and through February 18, 2025, to demonstrate compliance with the Equity Rule. Accordingly,
the Staff’s November 13, 2024, notice has no immediate impact on the Company’s listing at this time. The Company is considering
all options available to it to regain compliance with the Rules within the extension periods granted by the Panel; however, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors
or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On
November 12, 2024, James Murphy resigned as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer.
Mr. Murphy’s resignation was not a result of any disagreement on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies
or practices.
On November 15, 2024, the
Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Manuel Litchman, M.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Company, as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. Dr. Litchman, age 70, has been the Company’s
President and Chief Executive Officer, and a member of the Board, since April 2017, and previously served as Interim Chief Financial
Officer in December 2023 and January 2024.
There were no arrangements or
understandings between Dr. Litchman and any other person pursuant to which Dr. Litchman was appointed as an officer. Dr. Litchman
does not have any family relationships subject to disclosure under Item 401(d) of Regulation S-K or any direct or indirect material
interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. The Company has not entered into,
adopted or commenced any new, or amended any existing compensation plans, arrangements, or employment agreements with Dr. Litchman
in connection with these appointments.
