Item 3.01

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On September 27, 2023, Bone Biologics Corporation (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it failed to comply with the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). As a result of the imposition of a mandatory Panel Monitor, as previously disclosed on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 19, 2023, the Company is not eligible for a compliance period to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. Accordingly, the Nasdaq staff has determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq (the “Staff Determination”).

The Company plans to timely request a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), to appeal the Staff Determination, which request will stay any delisting action pending the issuance of the Panel’s determination.

At the hearing, the Company expects to present its plan for regaining and sustaining compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. There can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company any additional time to regain compliance or that the Company will ultimately regain and sustain compliance for listing of its securities on Nasdaq. In the event the Company’s securities are delisted from Nasdaq, the Company expects that its securities should be eligible to trade on the over-the-counter OTC Markets platform. The Company is evaluating several alternatives to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement.

Forward Looking Statements

Except for the factual statements made herein, information contained in this report consists of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words such as “will,” “may,” “expects,” “should,” “plans,” and similar expressions, or the use of future tense, identify forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance and actual actions or events could differ materially from those contained in such statements. For example, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to timely file an appeal to the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel will grant an extension, or that the Company will meet Nasdaq compliance standards for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The risks included are not exhaustive; for a more detailed description of these uncertainties and other factors, see the other risk factors set forth from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, copies of which are available for free at www.sec.gov or upon request from the Company’s Investor Relations Department. All information provided in this release is as of the date hereof and the Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
