Ovid Therapeutics agreed to a private placement of convertible preferred stock and warrants with initial gross proceeds of about $80.8 million and up to $175.1 million in total. The preferred cannot convert until stockholders approve more shares, and the same day the company reported Phase 1 data from 68 healthy volunteers, with the CEO among the investors.
Nasdaq told Ovid on September 11, 2025 that it again meets the $1.00 minimum bid price, but the company's notice does not say how it got back above that level.
Nasdaq says Ovid's average closing bid price was below $1.00 for 31 consecutive trading days. The company has 180 calendar days to regain compliance and says its Nasdaq listing is unaffected for now.
