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

On February 17, 2026, Atossa Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) informing the Company that it had regained compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

As previously disclosed, on February 21, 2025, the Company was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) because its common stock failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Company was initially given until August 20, 2025 to regain compliance, but the Company subsequently requested an extension. On August 21, 2025, the Company was informed that its deadline to regain compliance was extended by 180 days, or until February 17, 2026.

To regain compliance, the Company was required to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for at least 10 consecutive trading days. This requirement was met as of the close of trading on February 13, 2026. As a result, the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
