--Chemomab's ADSs Will Continue to Trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market--

TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd. (Nasdaq: CMMB) ("Chemomab", or the "Company"), a clinical stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of innovative therapeutics for fibro-inflammatory diseases with high unmet need, today disclosed that the Company received notice ("Notice") from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department ("Nasdaq") on November 6, 2023 that the Company is not currently in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued listing of its American Depositary Shares (the "ADSs") on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Minimum Bid Price Requirement"). The Notice indicated that the Company has 180 days, or until May 6, 2024 (the "Compliance Deadline"), to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by having the closing bid price of the Company's ADSs meet or exceed $1.00 per ADS for at least 10 consecutive business days.

The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company's ADSs, and its ADSs will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "CMMB". The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. If the Company does not regain compliance by the Compliance Deadline, it may be afforded an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance if it meets the continued listing requirements for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, of the Nasdaq Capital Market, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency.

About Chemomab Therapeutics Ltd.
Chemomab is a clinical stage biotechnology company developing innovative therapeutics for fibro-inflammatory diseases with high unmet need. Based on the unique and pivotal role of CCL24 in promoting fibrosis and inflammation, Chemomab developed CM-101, a monoclonal antibody designed to neutralize CCL24 activity. In preclinical and clinical studies, CM-101 appears safe, with the potential to treat multiple severe and life-threatening fibro-inflammatory diseases. Chemomab has reported encouraging results from three clinical trials of CM-101 in patients, including a Phase 1b trial in NAFLD patients, a Phase 2a liver fibrosis trial in NASH patients and an investigator-initiated study in patients with severe lung injury. The CM-101 program for the treatment of systemic sclerosis is Phase 2-ready and a Phase 2 trial in primary sclerosing cholangitis patients is ongoing, with topline data expected in the second half of 2024.
