FLORHAM PARK, N.J., May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celularity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELU) ("Celularity" or the "Company"), a longevity-focused regenerative and cellular medicine company, today announced that it has filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1), which requires timely filing of periodic financial reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
As previously disclosed, on April 16, 2026, the Company received a notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements due to the delayed filing of its Form 10-K. On May 1, 2026, Nasdaq Listing Qualifications notified the Company that, based on the April 30, 2026 filing of Celularity's Form 10-K, Nasdaq Staff determined that Celularity complies with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) and that the matter is now closed.
"We are pleased to have completed our Form 10-K filing and regained compliance with Nasdaq's reporting requirements," said Robert J. Hariri, M.D., Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This is an important milestone for Celularity, but more importantly, it reflects the significant progress we are making as we build a stronger, more focused and more resilient company for the future."
Dr. Hariri continued, "Over the past several months, we have taken purposeful steps to sharpen Celularity's strategic focus, strengthen our balance sheet and align our organization around opportunities we believe can drive long-term value. These actions include the out-license of our biomaterials portfolio, which enabled many employees associated with those products to transition with the assets, a focused realignment of non-core personnel, including the departure of certain executive officers, and the significant reduction of our recorded liabilities by approximately $13 million. Together, these initiatives have streamlined our operations and positioned Celularity to concentrate resources on our core longevity and cell therapy platforms."
"We believe Celularity is entering a new chapter," Dr. Hariri added. "With a leaner and more focused organization, a stronger balance sheet and a clear commitment to advancing regenerative and cellular medicine, we are building a business designed not only to meet today's challenges, but to capture the opportunities ahead. Our mission remains ambitious: to harness the unique biology of the postpartum placenta to develop transformative therapies targeting aging, age-related diseases and human performance."
The Company remains committed to disciplined execution, operational excellence and advancing its longevity-focused strategy with the goal of creating sustainable value for patients, physicians, partners, employees and stockholders.
