Arizona Tribune - Moolec Science S.A. Receives Nasdaq Staff Memo Supporting Panel Exception Through June 29, 2026 to Regain Compliance with Stockholders' Equity Requirement

The Staff memo reflects Nasdaq's acknowledgment of the material improvement in Moolec's balance sheet following a series of accounting and corporate events completed during the fourth quarter of 2025, which the Company believes have restored compliance with the Stockholders´ Equity Requirement.

During December 2025, bankruptcy proceedings involving certain subsidiaries resulted in the transfer of decision-making authority and the Company's loss of control over those entities. In accordance with IFRS 10.25, the loss of control constituted derecognition events, requiring the removal of the subsidiaries from Moolec's consolidated financial statements.

Specifically, on December 26, 2025, Bioceres S.A. commenced bankruptcy proceedings, resulting in Moolec's loss of control over Bioceres S.A. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Bioceres LLC. These derecognition events have resulted in a gain of approximately $91.0 million associated with the loss of control of Bioceres S.A. and an additional gain of approximately $5.2 million associated with the loss of control of Bioceres LLC.

In addition, on December 31, 2025, Theo I SCSp commenced bankruptcy proceedings, resulting in Moolec's loss of control over that entity and a further derecognition gain of approximately $4.6 million, also recognized in accordance with IFRS 10.25.

The foregoing derecognition events, together with the recognition of intercompany liabilities arising from the loss of control, which were previously eliminated in consolidation, as well as the conversion of certain preference into ordinary shares, have resulted in a substantial increase in Moolec's stockholders' equity.

Based on these developments, the Company believes it has regained compliance with the Stockholders' Equity Requirement. If the Panel grants an exception, Moolec intends to fully satisfy the conditions outlined in the Staff memo and any related Panel requests. Moolec remains focused on maintaining compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing standards while advancing its strategic priorities and strengthening its financial foundation.
