Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule Form 8 K

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

On September 27, 2024,Turnstone Biologics, Corp. received notice (the "Notice") from the Listing Qualifications staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") that, because the closing bid price of Turnstone's common stock was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, Turnstone no longer complies with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1). The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of Turnstone's common stock on Nasdaq. Pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has been provided an initial compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until March 26, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company's common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days prior to March 26, 2025.

If Turnstone does not regain compliance by March 26, 2025, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period if it applies to transfer the listing of its common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to the Nasdaq Capital Market. To qualify, Turnstone would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for the market value of its publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provide written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Nasdaq staff determines that Turnstone will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if Turnstone is otherwise not eligible for such additional compliance period, Nasdaq will provide notice that Turnstone's common stock will be subject to delisting.

Turnstone is presently evaluating potential actions to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements of Nasdaq. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
