Gelesis Receives Notice of NYSE Market Capitalization Listing Rule Non-Compliance

The Company Intends to Cure Deficiency and Return to Compliance with NYSE Listing Standard

Gelesis Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GLS) (“Gelesis” or the “Company”) today noted that on November 16, 2022, the Company received a notification letter (the “Notice”) from the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) advising that it was not in compliance with the continued listing standard set forth in Section 802.01B of the NYSE Listed Company Manual because its total market capitalization was less than $50 million over a 30 trading-day period and its stockholders’ equity was less than $50 million over a separate 30 trading-day period. The Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during the Cure Period referred to below, subject to the Company’s compliance with other NYSE continued listing standards.

In accordance with Section 802.02 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (“Section 802.02”), the Company intends to contact the NYSE within 10 days of its receipt of the Notice to confirm receipt of the Notice and confirm that it intends to present to the NYSE a plan detailing actions the Company has taken, or will take, to bring it into conformity with continued listing standards within 18 months of receipt of the Notice (the “Cure Period”). Pursuant to Section 802.02, the Company has 45 days from receipt of the Notice to submit its plan. The Company intends to develop and submit such its plan within the required timeframe. If the NYSE accepts the plan, the Company will be subject to quarterly monitoring by the NYSE for compliance with the plan.

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “GLS,” but will have an added designation of “.BC” to indicate that the Company is not currently in compliance with NYSE continued listing standards.
