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

On December 31, 2025, Salarius Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notice”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it is not in compliance with Nasdaq listing rule 5550(a)(2) because the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days was lower than the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). Normally, a company would be afforded a 180-calendar day period to demonstrate compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, pursuant to Nasdaq listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) and the Company remaining subject to a Mandatory Panel Monitor, the Company is not eligible for any compliance period specified in Nasdaq listing rule 5810(c)(3)(A) because the Company has effected a reverse stock split during the prior one-year period.

Accordingly, unless the Company requests an appeal of the delisting determination by January 7, 2026, Nasdaq has determined that the Company’s securities will be scheduled for delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market and will be suspended at the opening of business on January 9, 2026. In addition, a Form 25-NSE will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will remove the Company’s securities from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Company intends to appeal the delisting determination on or before January 7, 2026 by requesting an appeal with a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Hearings Panel”). A request for an appeal will stay the suspension of the Company’s securities and the filing of the Form 25-NSE pending the Hearings Panel’s decision. The Company intends to present its plans to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. However, there are no assurances a favorable decision from the Hearing Panel will be obtained or that the Company’s securities will remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
