The combined company is expected to trade on Nasdaq as Ambros Therapeutics (AMBX); closing is anticipated in Q1 2027.

After the death of Dr. Alon Lazarus, Werewolf Therapeutics now has only two members on its audit committee and therefore no longer meets NASDAQ’s minimum requirement of three independent members. The company has informed NASDAQ and plans to appoint another independent member promptly; the deadline to regain compliance runs until the next annual meeting or September 30, 2026. In addition, Citizens JMP lowered its price target for Werewolf Therapeutics from $4.00 to $3.00 but maintained a “Market Outperform” rating. » Więcej na de.investing.com
