TEL AVIV, Israel, Jan. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SciSparc Ltd. (Nasdaq: SPRC) ("Company" or "SciSparc"), a company engaged in clinical-stage pharmaceutical developments through its majority-owned subsidiary NeuroThera Labs Inc., announced today that it has received a written notification (the "Notification Letter") from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") notifying the Company that it is no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders' equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, listing Rule 5550(b)(1), due to its failure to maintain a minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders' equity. In the Company's Form 6-K dated November 18, 2025, the Company reported stockholders' equity of approximately $(81,000) as of June 30, 2025.
In accordance with Nasdaq rules, the Company has 45 calendar days, or until February 26, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq can grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the letter to evidence compliance. The Notification Letter has no immediate effect on the Company's listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and during the grace period, as may be extended, the Company's ordinary shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "SPRC".
The Company expects that it will be able to demonstrate compliance with the Nasdaq stockholders' equity requirement as of December 31, 2025 following the proceeds received from the conversion in August 2025 of the principal amount of $4.2 million and accrued interest of debentures dated February 25, 2025 and pursuant to the Company's registered direct offering in November 2025.
