Audio By Carbonatix

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESS Newswire / February 25, 2026 / CASI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:CASI), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing CID-103, a potential best-in-class, anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody for patients with organ transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases, today announced that it has received a determination letter from the Hearings Panel (the "Panel") of The Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq") dated February 23, 2026, notifying the Company that the Panel determined to delist the Company's securities from Nasdaq, due to the Company's failure to satisfy the continued listing conditions as previously disclosed. As a result, the Company securities will be suspended from trading at the open of business on February 26, 2026, and delisted from Nasdaq after the completion of certain applicable process. The Company does not intend to request a review of such decision.

Following the delisting, the Company expects that its ordinary shares will be quoted on the "over the counter" market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (the "OTC") so that a trading market may continue to exist for its ordinary shares. There is no guarantee, however, that a broker will continue to make a market in the ordinary shares and that trading of the ordinary shares will continue on an OTC market or otherwise.

The delisting from Nasdaq will have no significant impact on the Company's operations.
