CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and ROSTOCK, Germany and BERLIN, April 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Centogene N.V. (Nasdaq: CNTG) (“Centogene”, “we”, or the “Company”), the essential life science partner for data-driven answers in rare and neurodegenerative diseases, today announced that it received a notification letter dated March 27, 2024, from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC Listing Qualifications Department, indicating that the Company was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Rule 5450(a)(1) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules since the closing bid price for the Company’s common shares listed on Nasdaq was below US$1.00 for 30 consecutive business days (from February 12 through March 26, 2024). Nasdaq Rule 5450(a)(1) requires the shares to maintain a minimum bid price of US$1.00 per share, and Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that failure to meet such a requirement exists when the bid price of the shares is below US$1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days.

In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company has a period of 180 calendar days from the date of notification to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If at any time during the 180-calendar day period, the bid price of the shares closes at or above US$1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and will consider such deficiency matter closed.

The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its common shares and will evaluate all available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with Nasdaq Rule 5450(a)(1).
