Ambrx Biopharma Inc. Announces Receipt of NYSE Non-Compliance Letter Regarding ADS Trading Price

Ambrx Biopharma Inc. (Ambrx) (NYSE: AMAM), a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company using its proprietary Engineered Precision Biologics platform to create antibody drug conjugates, announced today that it received a notice (the Notice) on November 23, 2022 from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) that it was not in compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards because the average closing price of Ambrx's American Depositary Shares (ADS), each representing seven ordinary shares, had fallen below $1.00 per ADS (Minimum Stock Price) over a period of 30 consecutive trading days, which is the minimum average closing price per ADS required to maintain continued listing on the NYSE.

In accordance with applicable NYSE procedures, Ambrx is required to issue this press release and, pursuant to the listing requirements, has also submitted a response letter outlining its plan to cure the deficiency.

Furthermore, Ambrx has six months following receipt of the Notice to regain compliance with the Minimum Stock Price requirement. Ambrx can regain compliance if, at any time during the next six months, the ADSs have a closing price of at least the Minimum Stock Price and an average closing price of at least the Minimum Stock Price over the 30 trading-day period ending on the last trading day of that month. As of the date of this press release, Ambrx's ADSs closed above the Minimum Stock Price.

To address this issue, Ambrx intends to monitor the trading price of its listed securities and take steps to increase the value of its ADSs through implementation of its business strategy and consider its other options for regaining compliance with the NYSE's continued listing standards.

Ambrx's ADSs will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE, subject to Ambrx's compliance with NYSE listing standards.
