Stockholders’ Equity Deficiency

As previously reported, on August 22, 2022, the Company received notice from Nasdaq advising the Company that it is not in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) requires companies listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market to maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $2,500,000 (the "Stockholders’ Equity Requirement"). The notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock and the Company’s common stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "SONN," subject to the Company’s compliance with the other continued listing requirements. Pursuant to the notice, Nasdaq has given the Company 45 calendar days, or until October 6, 2022, to submit to Nasdaq a plan to regain compliance. If the Company’s plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice to evidence compliance. The Company is currently evaluating various courses of action to regain compliance and plans to timely submit its plan to Nasdaq to regain compliance with the Stockholders’ Equity Requirement.

There can be no assurance that the Company’s plan will be accepted or that if it is, the Company will be able to regain compliance. If the Company’s plan to regain compliance is not accepted, or if it is and the Company does not regain compliance within 180 days from the date of Nasdaq’s letter, or if the Company fails to satisfy another Nasdaq requirement for continued listing, Nasdaq could provide notice that the Company’s common stock will become subject to delisting. In such event, Nasdaq rules would permit the Company to appeal the decision to reject the Company’s proposed compliance plan or any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. The hearing request would stay any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process and the expiration of any additional extension period granted by the panel following the hearing.

Oncosec is reducing its staff by approximately 45% and prioritizing clinical pipeline activities to reduce operating expenses. The Company and remaining employees will focus clinical activities in melanoma to advance TAVO-EP toward near-term data milestones of the KEYNOTE-695 clinical trial. OncoSec will provide more detail on the financial implications of the restructuring in the Form 10-K due in October.

Updated guidance on the pivotal Phase 2b KEYNOTE-695 trial in metastatic melanoma, is as follows.

Top-line results of the secondary endpoint, Objective Response Rate (ORR) by investigator assessment based on RECIST v1.1, is expected to be announced in the fourth quarter of 2022.
Top-line results of the primary endpoint, Overall Response Rate (ORR) by blinded independent central review (BICR) based on RECIST v1.1, is expected to be announced in the first quarter of 2023.
"Since joining as CEO my focus has been on reviewing all aspects of our technology and pipeline. This led to the conclusion that an operational restructuring and strategic pipeline refocus is the best course of action to accelerate advancing TAVO-EP and preparing for the completion and data readout of our KEYNOTE-695 trial," said Robert H. Arch, Ph.D., OncoSec’s Chief Executive Officer. "It is very unfortunate because this necessary step affects a very talented group of employees that have contributed to our efforts and helped build the company. We are grateful for their contributions."
