HCW Biologics ( (HCWB) ) just unveiled an update.

On August 19, 2025, HCW Biologics Inc. was notified by Nasdaq that it was not in compliance with the exchange’s $2.5 million minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing, leading to a September 25, 2025 hearing and an October 13, 2025 decision granting the company until December 31, 2025 to regain compliance with the equity threshold and until February 17, 2026 to demonstrate continued compliance with all listing criteria. To bolster its equity position, the company completed a warrant inducement transaction on November 19, 2025 that generated approximately $3.8 million in net proceeds, raised an additional $363,858 through its Standby Equity Line of Credit in the fourth quarter of 2025, and on December 30, 2025 executed a settlement of about $7.4 million in legal fee payables that is expected to increase stockholders’ equity by roughly $5.4 million as of December 31, 2025; based on these actions, HCW Biologics now believes its stockholders’ equity exceeds $2.5 million and is awaiting Nasdaq’s formal determination on its compliance status.
