PRESS RELEASE

Apollomics Announces Receipt of Nasdaq Delisting Notification, and Will Appeal to Retain Nasdaq Listing

 

By:

Apollomics Inc. (Nasdaq: APLM]

 

Via:

Global Bio and Investment

 

Date:

September 21, 2025

Apollomics Inc. (Nasdaq: APLM) (“Apollomics” or the “Company”), a California based late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing multiple oncology drug candidates to address difficult-to-treat and treatment-resistant cancers, announced that the Company received a letter (the “Letter”) on September 18, 2025 from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”).

The Letter indicated that unless the Company requests an appeal, Nasdaq will delist the Company’s securities under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101 based on the Staff’s belief that Apollomics is now only a “public shell”. The Letter stated that the Staff believe the Company no longer has an operating business, citing a lack of personnel and uncertainty around staffing initiatives, and this could lead to the Company’s shares being subject to market abuses and other violative conduct as purchasers of a public shell do not know what the operating business will be in the future.

Other than as identified above, the Company believes it is in compliance with the Nasdaq listing requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550.

The Company will appeal. The Company’s management strongly believes that Apollomics is not a public shell and remains an operating clinical-stage pharmaceutical company. Apollomics continues to be focused on the discovery and development of oncology therapies. These therapies have the potential to be combined with other treatment options to harness the immune system and target specific molecular pathways to inhibit cancer.

Apollomics historically and continues to use targeted, immuno-oncology, and other innovative approaches to address a range of cancer indications, such as lung cancer, brain cancer, and other solid tumors. The Company’s pipeline includes a variety of cancer treatment programs that utilize tumor inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, a cancer vaccine, monotherapies, combination therapies or a multi-functional protein with the goals to improve response rates and reduce chemo-resistance and toxicity compared to the current treatment standards.

The Company announced on August 28, 2025, that it intended to seek shareholder approval to wind up the Company’s business, and that it expected to discontinue all activities related to the SPARTA clinical trials associated with vebreltinib, our most advanced product candidate. However, on September 3, 2025, the Company received$4.1 million in a private placement and appointed a new board of directors.


With additional funding, the Company reversed its wind-up plans. It is continuing previous operations and is actively expanding operations focused on advancing the global development and achieving the full potential of vebreltinib.

Among other initiatives, Apollomics seeks to develop vebreltinib across different c-Met alterations across different tumors; developing other tumor inhibitor candidates; expand our drug portfolio through collaboration and partnership; seek development and commercialization partnerships to optimize efficiency; and build a network of centers for clinical trials. Current clinical trials include: trials of vebreltinib as a single agent for the potential treatment of NSCLC and other advanced tumors with c-Met alterations, and also as a combination therapy with epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (the “SPARTA studies”).

The Company is preparing to file a notice of appeal on or prior to September 25, 2025, and will request a hearing before a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel to review the Staff’s determination. The appeal, when filed, will stay delisting of the Company’s securities pending the Panel’s decision. Unless the Company requests an appeal, trading in the Company’s securities will be suspended at the opening of business on September 29, 2025, and a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. Although the Company believes that it will prevail in its appeal, there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to win its appeal, or will regain or maintain its Nasdaq listing.
