Current report
On June 11, 2025, Salarius received written notification from Nasdaq that the Hearings Panel has granted Salarius an extension to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5550(a)(2) and 5550(b)(1). The extension by the Hearings Panel is contingent on Salarius achieving scheduled milestones and notifying Nasdaq of such achievements. Such milestones consisted of regaining compliance with the Equity Standard by early July 2025 and regaining compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by early August 2025. On July 28, 2025, Salarius received notification from Nasdaq that the Hearings Panel has granted Salarius an additional extension to regain compliance with the Equity Standard by mid August 2025 and to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by late August 2025. If Salarius is not successful at satisfying these milestones within the time periods prescribed by the Hearings Panel, Salarius may be delisted. There is no assurance that Salarius will be able to regain compliance with the applicable continued listing requirements by the Hearings Panel’s deadline.
Current report
The Hearings Panel reserves the right to reconsider the terms of this granted exception based on any event, condition or circumstance that exists or develops that would, in the opinion of the Hearings Panel, make continued listing of Salarius’ securities on Nasdaq inadvisable or unwarranted. The Hearings Panel’s notification advised Salarius 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 Hearings Panel’s decision in Salarius’ matter, it may affirm, modify, reverse, dismiss or remand the decision to the Hearings Panel.

Previous report
On December 12, 2024, Salarius entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “ELOC Agreement”) with C/M Capital Master Fund, LP (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which Salarius, subject to the restrictions and satisfaction of the conditions in the ELOC Agreement, has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser is obligated to purchase, up to the lesser of (i) $10 million of newly issued shares (the “Purchase Shares”) of Salarius’ common stock and (ii) the Exchange Cap (as defined in the ELOC Agreement). As consideration for the Purchaser’s execution and delivery of the ELOC Agreement, Salarius has agreed to issue to the Purchaser, simultaneously with the delivery of any and all Purchase Shares purchased under the ELOC Agreement, a number of shares of Salarius common stock equal to one percent (1%) of the number of Purchase Shares actually sold in each sale under the ELOC Agreement.
Previous report
In the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser represented to the Company, among other things, that it is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)). The securities are being issued and sold by the Company to the Purchaser in reliance upon the exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

Reworded paragraphs (2)
Previous wording
Salarius does not currently have adequate financial resources to fund its forecasted operating costs for at least twelve months from the filing of this prospectus. As of March 31, 2025, Salarius’ cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately $1.8 million, which were held in bank deposit accounts and a money market account. As of As a result, Salarius believes its existing cash resources are sufficient to meet its anticipated needs into the later part of the second quarter of 2025. If for any reason the Merger does not close in the next few months, Salarius would need to raise additional capital to continue to fund the further development of its product candidates and its operations thereafter. Salarius has based its cash sufficiency estimates on its current business plan and its assumptions may prove to be wrong. Salarius could utilize its available capital resources sooner than it currently expects, and it could need additional funding sooner than currently anticipated. Additionally, the process of advancing early stage product candidates and testing product candidates in clinical trials is costly, and the timing of progress in these clinical trials is uncertain. Even if Salarius raises sufficient funds and decides to continue the development of its product candidates, its ability to successfully transition to profitability will be dependent upon achieving a level of product sales adequate to support its cost structure. Salarius cannot assure you that it will ever be profitable or generate positive cash flow from operating activities.
