Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

 

In order to comply with the minimum bid price requirement of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”), on June 22, 2023, the Board of Directors of Quoin Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (the “Company”) approved the change in the ratio of its American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”) evidencing ordinary shares, no par value (“Ordinary Shares”), from one ADS representing five thousand (5,000) Ordinary Shares to one ADS representing sixty thousand (60,000) Ordinary Shares (the “Ratio Change”). The Ratio Change will result in a one for twelve split of issued and outstanding ADSs, and it will have no effect on the Ordinary Shares. The Ratio Change will be effective on or about July 18, 2023. Although the market price per ADS is expected to increase proportionally, the Company can give no assurance that the Ratio Change will result in the Company satisfying and maintaining the minimum bid price requirement of Nasdaq.
