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

On April 4, 2025, Creative Medical Technology Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) adopted a Clawback Policy (the “Policy”) pursuant to Listing Rule 5608(b)(1) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), and filed the Policy with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to its Amended Annual Report on Form 10-K. Although the Clawback Policy has been adopted with retroactive effect to December 1, 2023, the Clawback Policy will have no impact on compensation previously paid to the Company’s executive officers because the Company’s executive officers have not received any incentive compensation that could be subject to clawback under the Policy.

Notwithstanding the Company’s adoption of the Policy and current compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5608, on April 8, 2025, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq stating that because the Company failed to timely adopt the Policy as required by Listing Rule 5608(b)(1), and failed to disclose the Policy in its Form 10-K for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 or December 31, 2024 (prior to its amendment), the Company previously did not comply with Listing Rule 5608(b)(2). However, in the letter, Nasdaq further informed the Company that it is currently in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, and the matter raised by Nasdaq in the letter is now closed.
