Cellectar Biosciences Announces Financial Restatement
Cellectar Biosciences, Inc. (NASDAQ: CLRB), a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, and commercializing cancer treatments, recently shared plans to restate its previously issued financial statements. This announcement comes as the company received a delinquency notification letter from Nasdaq due to a delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2024.
Details of the Notification from Nasdaq
The notification received by Cellectar indicated non-compliance with the periodic financial report filing requirement as per Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). The delay has arisen because Cellectar needs to restate certain financial statements related to its previous filings. Specifically, this impacts the Quarterly Report for the second quarter of 2024.
Reasons for Financial Restatement
The restatement is primarily influenced by the company’s need to reassess its accounting treatment for warrants issued in a financing round completed in October 2022. This evaluation was carried out after Cellectar engaged Deloitte & Touche LLP as an independent registered accounting firm to review those matters. The expected changes to the financial statements will be non-cash and non-operational, meaning they will not directly influence the company’s cash flow.
Tentative Timeline for Compliance
Cellectar has been given a 60-day period to submit a compliance plan to Nasdaq, which must occur by a specified deadline. If approved, this plan would provide an extension of up to 180 days for the company to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s regulations. Should the Nasdaq not accept the plan, Cellectar has the right to appeal that decision.
Impact on Company’s Stock Listing
At present, the receipt of the notification does not impact the listing of Cellectar's common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The company is committed to completing the restatement process within approximately six weeks, after which it plans to submit the delayed Quarterly Report.
