Oncternal Therapeutics Announces Intent to Voluntarily Delist from Nasdaq and Deregister with the SEC

SAN DIEGO, March 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Oncternal Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: ONCT) (the “Company”) today announced its intention to file a Form 25 Notification of Delisting with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 17, 2025, which will remove Oncternal's securities from listing and registration on Nasdaq, and to subsequently deregister with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Nasdaq previously suspended the trading of Oncternal’s common stock on December 3, 2024 and notified Oncternal that a Form 25 would be filed. However, as Nasdaq has not yet made the filing, Oncternal is doing so voluntarily to permit Oncternal to file a Form 15 to deregister with the SEC.

Once the Nasdaq delisting becomes effective, ten days later the Company will file a Form 15 to deregister with the SEC. Upon the filing of the Form 15, the Company’s obligation to file periodic reports with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K, will be immediately suspended. The Company's duty to file any other reports required by the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with the SEC will be terminated 90 days after the filing of Form 15.
