01 Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events. As previously disclosed, on September 12, 2024, CNS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that for the previous 30 consecutive business days the Company's common stock had not maintained a closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement") required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv), the Company is not eligible for any compliance period specified in Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) because the Company effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one. The Company requested a hearing before a Hearings Panel (the "Panel"), which hearing automatically stayed any suspension or delisting action pending the hearing and the expiration of any additional extension period if granted by the Panel following the hearing. On October 30, 2024, the Panel provided the Company a temporary exception to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement until March 11, 2025. The Panel reserves the right to reconsider the terms of this exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Panel, make continued listing of the Company's securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. The Panel notification advised the Company that the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council may, on its own motion, determine to review any Panel decision within 45 calendar days after issuance of the written decision. If the Listing Council determines to review the Panel's decision in the Company's matter, it may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss or remand the decision to t
