DermTech Announces Common Stock Will Continue Trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market; Warrant Delisting from The Nasdaq Capital Market

DermTech, Inc. DMTK ("DermTech" or the "Company"), a leader in precision dermatology enabled by a non-invasive skin genomics platform, announced today its common stock will continue trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol "DMTK." On October 16, 2019, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") notified DermTech that it has granted the Company's request for continued listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market because the Company meets all of the requirements for initial listing.

The Panel also determined to delist the Company's warrants previously trading on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker symbol "DMTKW" (the "Public Warrants") due to the Company's failure to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5515(a)(4), which requires the Company to have a minimum of 400 round lot holders of its publicly traded warrants. Accordingly, the Company's Public Warrants were suspended from The Nasdaq Capital Market effective at the open of trading on October 18, 2019. On the same day, the Public Warrants became available for quotation under the symbol "DMTKW" on the Pink Market operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. Quotes can be found at www.otcmarkets.com.
