Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 2, 2024, ProMIS Neurosciences Inc. (“Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “Rule”) because the Company has not maintained a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (“MVLS”) of at least $35 million for the last 30 consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s securities.

The Company has 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until December 29, 2024, to regain compliance. If the Company does not regain compliance with the MVLS requirement within the compliance period, or qualify under an alternative listing standard, the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. To regain compliance, during the 180 day period the MVLS must be at least $35 million for a minimum of ten consecutive business days (or such longer period of time as the Nasdaq staff may require in some circumstances, but generally not more than 20 consecutive business days).

In the event the Company receives notice that the Company’s common stock is being delisted, Nasdaq’s rules permit the Company to appeal the delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a hearings panel.

The Company intends to monitor the market value of the Company’s listed securities and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement. The Company, by filing this Form 8-K, discloses its receipt of the notification from Nasdaq in accordance with Listing Rule 5810(b).

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement.
