## Summary

Exicure received a Nasdaq notice regarding non-compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement and plans to regain compliance....

## Article Body
Exicure, Inc. (Nasdaq: XCUR) (the “Company”) today announced that it received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on June 5, 2026 indicating that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain a minimum of $2.5 million in stockholders’ equity.

As reported in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported stockholders’ equity of approximately $2.1 million. Nasdaq also determined that the Company does not currently satisfy the alternative continued listing standards relating to market value of listed securities or net income from continuing operations.

The Company believes that its financial position and stockholders’ equity were impacted in part by executive separation-related expenses and obligations under certain long-term consulting arrangements entered into prior to the current management team's appointment. Under the current management team, the Company has implemented significant cost-reduction and restructuring initiatives, including the termination of substantially all non-essential legacy consulting arrangements .

The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Under Nasdaq rules, the Company has 45 calendar days, or until July 20, 2026, to submit a plan to regain compliance. If Nasdaq accepts the Company’s plan, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the notice to regain compliance.

The Company intends to submit a compliance plan within the prescribed timeframe and is evaluating various alternatives to regain compliance with the applicable listing requirements.
