SAN DIEGO, Aug. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VivoSim Labs, Inc. (NASDAQ:VIVS) (the "Company" or "VivoSim"), a provider of next-generation New Approach Methodologies (NAM) 3d human cellular models for preclinical safety, today announced that on August 4, 2026, we received notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC indicating that the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) which requires registrants to maintain a minimum stockholders’ equity of $2.5M.

Subsequent to the filing of its recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, filed with the SEC on July 14, 2026 (the "Form 10-K"), the Company received a $5.0 million milestone payment from Eli Lilly and Company, and $1.0 million of additional cash was released from escrow on July 22, 2026, both in connection with the Company’s previous sale of its FXR program to Eli Lilly and Company. The Company also completed a financing on July 17, 2026, issuing pre-funded warrants and common warrants at a combined purchase price of $0.85 per share of common stock underlying the pre-funded warrants and received gross proceeds of $4.0 million, with net proceeds of approximately $3.6 million.

The Company is drawing attention to these events because the timing of the events means they were not reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2026 included in Form 10-K and will not be in the financial statements in the Company’s upcoming Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filing for the period ended June 30, 2026.

As of August 3, 2026, the Company’s cash on hand was approximately $10.1 million. Due to the significant events described above that occurred in July after the close of both the last fiscal year, the year ended March 31, 2026 and the first quarter of this fiscal year 2027, the quarter ending June 30, 2026, the Company is providing this additional information to investors in order to complement the financial statements previously included in the Company’s annual and quarterly filings with the SEC in order to provide stockholders and the public with updated information.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 3,194,295 shares of common stock outstanding, and as of August 3, 2026, the Company had 13,390,789 shares of common stock outstanding, which reflects 9,896,718 shares of common stock issued between July 15, 2026 and July 31, 2026 upon exercise of certain warrants to purchase common stock.

The Company reiterates its previously announced guidance that it anticipates 500%+ revenue growth in Fiscal Year 2027 given its progress in marketing contract research services using NAMs models to pharmaceutical companies.
