VolitionRx Announces Acceptance of Compliance Plan by NYSE American

HENDERSON, Nev., April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- VolitionRx Limited (NYSE AMERICAN: VNRX) ("Volition" or the "Company"), a multi-national epigenetics company, announced today that on April 22, 2026, the NYSE American LLC (the "NYSE American") accepted the Company's plan of compliance for continued listing on the exchange.

As previously reported, on February 6, 2026, the Company received a notice from the NYSE American stating that the Company is not in compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards set forth in Section 1003(a)(i) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide") requiring a company to have stockholders' equity of at least $2.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years, Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide requiring a company to have stockholders' equity of at least $4.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years, and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide requiring a company to have stockholders' equity at least $6.0 million if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.  The notice also indicated that the Company was not currently eligible for any exemption in Section 1003(a) of the Company Guide (including the exemption provided for companies with total value of market capitalization exceeding $50 million among other things).

The Company was required to submit a plan to the NYSE American by March 8, 2026, advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by August 6, 2027. The Company submitted a plan prior to the deadline.

On April 22, 2026, the Company received a notification (the "Acceptance Letter") from the NYSE American that the Company's previously submitted plan to regain compliance with the NYSE American's listing standards (the "Plan") was accepted. In the Acceptance Letter, the NYSE American granted the Company until August 6, 2027 (the "Plan Period") to regain compliance with the continued listing standards.

During the Plan Period, the Company will be subject to periodic review by the NYSE American on its progress with the goals and initiatives outlined in the Plan. The Company intends to take all reasonable measures available to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) of the Company Guide during the Plan Period. If the Company does not regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards by August 6, 2027, or if the Company does not make sufficient progress consistent with the Plan during the Plan Period, then NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings.

The Acceptance Letter has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company's shares of common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during the Plan Period, subject to the Company's compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE American. The Acceptance Letter does not affect the Company's ongoing business operations or its reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
