Exhibit 99.1
IceCure Medical Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Notification
CAESAREA, ISRAEL, July 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- IceCure Medical Ltd. (Nasdaq: ICCM) (the “Company”), developer of minimally-invasive cryoablation technology that destroys tumors by freezing as an alternative to surgical tumor removal, today announced that it has received a written notice (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been granted a period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Notice has no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing or the trading of its ordinary shares, and during the grace period, as may be extended, the Company’s ordinary shares will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ICCM”.
According to the Notice, the Company has until January 14, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company can regain compliance if at any time during this 180-day period the closing bid price of its ordinary shares is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, in which case the Company will be provided with written confirmation of compliance and this matter will be closed.
In the event that the Company does not regain compliance after the initial 180-day period, the Company may then be eligible for an additional 180-day compliance period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement. In this case, the Company will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If the Company cannot demonstrate compliance by the allotted compliance period(s), Nasdaq’s staff will notify the Company that its ordinary shares are subject to delisting.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ordinary shares and its continued listing on Nasdaq is a priority for the Company. Should the situation not resolve itself over the above-mentioned time frame, the Company intends to consider available options to cure the deficiency and regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement within the compliance period.
