Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

As previously reported on April 7, 2025, Adicet Bio, Inc. (the Company or Adicet) received a notification letter (the Bid Price Letter) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock), has been below the minimum $1.00 per share required (the Bid Price Requirement) for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was given 180 calendar days, or until October 6, 2025, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

On October 7, 2025, the Company received a notice (the Extension Notice) from Nasdaq informing the Company that Nasdaq has granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until April 6, 2026, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In connection with the Extension Notice, the listing of the Common Stock will be transferred from the Nasdaq Global Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market, effective at the opening of business on October 9, 2025. The Extension Notice has no other immediate effect on the listing of the Common Stock.

The Company intends to continue actively monitor the bid price for its Common Stock between now and April 6, 2026, and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. These options include, but are not limited to, effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, to attempt to regain compliance. If at any time before April 6, 2026, the closing bid price of the Common Stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation that the Company has regained compliance with the Bid Price Requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance within the additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Common Stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There is no assurance, however, that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Requirement or that the Common Stock will not be delisted from Nasdaq.

Forward-Looking Statements

The disclosure under this Item 8.01 contains "forward-looking statements" of Adicet within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to the business and operations of Adicet. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “would” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, express or implied statements regarding the Company’s intent and ability to regain compliance with Bid Price Requirement, including steps the Company may take to regain compliance, and the Company’s ability to qualify for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Any forward-looking statements in this Item 8.01 are based on management's current expectations and beliefs of future events, and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those set forth in or implied by such forward-looking statements, including without limitation, the effect of global economic conditions and public health crises on the Company’s business and financial results, including with respect to disruptions to its preclinical and clinical studies, business operations, employee hiring and retention, and ability to raise additional capital; Adicet's ability to execute on its strategy including obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals on the expected timeline, if at all; that positive results, including interim results, from a preclinical or clinical study may not necessarily be predictive of the results of future or ongoing studies; that clinical studies may fail to demonstrate adequate safety and efficacy of Adicet’s product candidates, which would prevent, delay, or limit the scope of regulatory approval and commercialization; and regulatory approval processes of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and comparable foreign regulatory authorities are lengthy, time-consuming, and inherently unpredictable; and Adicet’s ability to meet production and product release expectations. For a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, and other important factors, any of which could cause Adicet's actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see the section titled "Risk Factors" in Adicet's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as discussions of potential risks, uncertainties, and other important factors in Adicet’s other filings with the SEC. All disclosure under this Item 8.01 is as of the date of this Form 8-K, and Adicet undertakes no duty to update this information unless required by law.
