Opus Genetics, Inc.

Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and therein.

If we fail to comply with the continued listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market, our common stock may be delisted, and our ability to access the capital markets could be negatively impacted.

Our common stock is listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). In order to maintain our listing, we must satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements. Nasdaq Listing Rules require that the closing price of our common stock generally remains at or above $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The closing price of our common stock has recently traded below $1.00, and may fall below $1.00 per share in the future. If our common stock closes at a price below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we could be delisted from Nasdaq. In the event we do receive notice of deficiency from Nasdaq, we expect that applicable Nasdaq Listing Rules would provide us with an initial period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which may be extended by Nasdaq in its discretion.

There are no assurances that we will be able to continue to comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. We intend to monitor the closing price of our common stock and may, if appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, which could include seeking to effect a reverse stock split. There are many factors outside of our control that may adversely affect our minimum bid price, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in our other filings with the SEC.

Any potential delisting of our common stock from Nasdaq would likely result in decreased liquidity and increased volatility for our common stock and may damage our reputation, adversely affecting our ability to raise additional capital or to pursue our strategic business plans. Additionally, delisting would make it more difficult for our stockholders to sell our common stock in the public market. Further, if the Company seeks to implement a reverse stock split in order to remain listed, the announcement or implementation of such a reverse stock split could negatively affect the price of our common stock.
