Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Silexion Therapeutics Corp (NASDAQ: SLXN) announced that a Nasdaq hearings panel has granted the company continued listing status, but with conditions. Effective July 8, 2025, the company鈥檚 ordinary shares and warrants will move from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, keeping their current tickers 鈥沦尝齿狈鈥� and 鈥沦尝齿狈奥.鈥�

The panel鈥檚 decision hinges on Silexion鈥檚 ability to achieve and maintain at least $2.5 million in shareholders鈥� equity by September 19, 2025 and to demonstrate that level in an SEC filing that includes a balance sheet dated within 60 days of submission. Nasdaq will retain jurisdiction over the company鈥檚 listing status until November 18, 2025; any further rule breaches before that date must be accompanied by an additional compliance plan for panel review.

Silexion also disclosed a potential bid-price deficiency (closing price below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days). Management intends to remedy this by executing a 1-for-15 reverse share split shortly after its reconvened annual general meeting on July 14, 2025, pending shareholder approval, with the split expected to take effect on or about July 25, 2025.

Key investor takeaway: Listing is preserved, but the company must raise equity or otherwise strengthen its balance sheet, complete the reverse split, and avoid additional rule breaches. Failure to meet these milestones could trigger delisting despite the current reprieve.

Positive

Nasdaq panel grants continued listing, avoiding immediate delisting and preserving trading liquidity.
Transfer to Nasdaq Capital Market allows compliance with lower thresholds while retaining national exchange status.
Clear compliance roadmap (equity raise and reverse split) provides investors with measurable milestones.

Negative

$2.5 million equity requirement by Sept 19, 2025 highlights current balance-sheet weakness and likely need for dilutive financing.
Planned 1-for-15 reverse split may reduce liquidity and signal distress; contingent on shareholder approval.
Nasdaq maintains oversight until Nov 18, 2025; any rule breach could trigger delisting despite current reprieve.

Insights

TL;DR: Listing saved, but equity raise and reverse split are mandatory; immediate dilution risk offset by maintained market access.

The panel鈥檚 decision removes the near-term threat of forced delisting, preserving liquidity for shareholders and institutional investors that require a national market listing. Transferring to the Capital Market lowers minimum standards, buying time until September 19, 2025 to bolster shareholders鈥� equity above $2.5 million. Management has publicly committed to a 1-for-15 reverse split, which should solve the bid-price issue but may reduce float liquidity and signal financial weakness. The filing offers no details on how equity will be raised鈥攍eaving open the prospect of dilutive capital raises, asset sales, or strategic transactions. Overall impact is modestly positive in the short run due to continued trading, but medium-term value hinges on successful recapitalization.

TL;DR: Compliance window is short; failure to raise equity or secure split approval could quickly revive delisting threat.

While the hearing outcome averts immediate delisting, the company remains financially fragile. Achieving an additional $2.5 million in equity within roughly ten weeks may require highly dilutive financing. Shareholder rejection of the reverse split would leave Silexion vulnerable to automatic bid-price non-compliance, and Nasdaq retains jurisdiction until mid-November. The market may discount shares ahead of potential dilution and reverse-split mechanics. Investors should monitor AGM voting results, capital-raising announcements, and quarterly balance-sheet updates. From a risk perspective, the news is neutral to mildly negative because existential listing risk merely shifts from immediate to conditional.

Outcome of Hearing Re: Nasdaq Delisting Notice; Continued Listing of Securities

On July 7, 2025, Silexion Therapeutics Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Silexion”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) received a favorable decision from a hearings panel of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), granting the Company’s request to remain listed on Nasdaq, subject to certain conditions. The Nasdaq panel’s decision follows upon a hearing held before the panel on June 26, 2025 at which the Company appealed a delisting notice that it had received from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department on May 22, 2025 in respect of two listing deficiencies. As a result of the favorable outcome of the hearing, the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares and warrants is expected to be transferred from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market on July 8, 2025, and trading will continue under the existing symbols “SLXN” and “SLXNW”, respectively.

Under the terms of the decision reached by the hearings panel, the continued listing of Silexion’s securities on the Nasdaq Capital Market will be conditioned on Silexion’s fulfillment of the terms of the compliance plan that it had presented to the panel in connection with the June 26, 2025 hearing. That plan was designed to enable the Company to achieve at least $2.5 million of shareholders’ equity (the “shareholders’ equity requirement”) and thereby comply with the Equity Standard for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market on a continued basis. The terms of the compliance plan consist, in primary part, of the following:

•

on or before September 19, 2025, Silexion is required to demonstrate in a report filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), its restoration of compliance with, and its expected long-term compliance with, the shareholders’ equity requirement, as to be demonstrated in a balance sheet not older than 60 days to be included in such a filing; and

•

if Silexion fails to maintain compliance with any Nasdaq listing rule on or before November 18, 2025, Silexion will be required to submit, and the Nasdaq hearings panel will review (as part of its maintenance of jurisdiction over the Company’s listing status until November 18, 2025), a compliance plan for the subject deficiency to determine whether the panel is willing to grant an exception to Silexion to cure that deficiency.

As part of the hearing process, the Company disclosed to the Nasdaq hearings panel that the Company may soon become deficient with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which may result from the bid price of the Company’s ordinary shares closing below $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days. The Company expects that following the completion of its 2025 annual general meeting, which, as disclosed in the Company’s supplementary proxy materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 7, 2025, will be reconvened on July 14, 2025, the Company will effect a 1-for-15 reverse share split, which will enable the Company to remedy that bid price deficiency on or about July 25, 2025. The completion of that reverse share split is subject to the Company’s shareholders’ approval of that reverse share split pursuant to Proposal 3 at the reconvened meeting.

There can be no assurance that Silexion will successfully meet the terms of its compliance plan and/or maintain compliance with the Equity Standard and/or all other standards for listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market even if it initially successfully restores compliance.

You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 18, 2025.
