AgeX Therapeutics Announces Appeal of NYSE American Determination

AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. (“AgeX”; NYSE American: AGE), a biotechnology company developing therapeutics for human aging and regeneration, announced today that on May 17, 2023 it received a notice from the staff of the NYSE American (the “Exchange”) indicating that they intend to commence proceedings to delist AgeX common stock from the Exchange based upon AgeX’s non-compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirements set forth in Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Exchange’s Company Guide by the end of a compliance plan period that expired on May 17, 2023. Specifically, AgeX does not meet the continued listing standards because it has stockholders equity of less than (A) $2,000,000 and has incurred losses from continuing operations and/or net losses during its two most recent fiscal years, (B) $4,000,000 and has incurred losses from continuing operations and/or net losses during three out of four of its most recent fiscal years, and (C) $6,000,000 or more and has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.

AgeX has the right to appeal this determination to a committee of the Board of Directors of the Exchange (the “Committee”). AgeX intends to timely request a hearing before the Committee, and that request will stay any further action by the Exchange at least pending the issuance of a decision by the Committee on the appeal. There can be no assurance that AgeX’s request for continued listing will be granted.

AgeX intends to make arrangements to have its common stock quoted on an electronic interdealer quotation system if its common stock is delisted from the Exchange.
