Acorda TherAcordacs has been delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Market as a result of non-compliance with Nasdaq’s listing rules.
Acorda Therapeuticss stipulate that companies maintain stockholders’ equity of at least $10m. As Acorda can no longer meet this requirement due to the company’s recent bankruptcy filing earlier this month, trading in the company’s common stock was suspended on 12 April, with Acorda reporting the delisting on 15 April.
The absence on Nasdaq caps the company’s journey to the end of the twilight zone. The biotech’s cAcorda date is set for 15 June, leaving the remaining 97 employees at its site in New York without a job, as per a labour notice filing.Acorda
Over the past decade, Acorda saw success with its drugs for neurological disorders. Inbrija (levodopa inhalation powder) and Ampyra (dalfampridine) — also marketed as Fampyra (fampridine) outside of the US — were the company’s lead assets. Inbrija is used to treat patients with Parkinson’s disease while Ampyra/Fampyra is approved to help improve the walking ability of patients with multiple sclerosis.

Acorda responded to financial difficulty by laying off much of its workforce but its share values continued to dive, with a bankruptcy filing occurring in April 2024.
Merz Therapeutics, known for its Botox rival Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), swooped in a day later to buy Acorda’s assets, including Inbrija and Ampyra. Merz acted as a “stalking horse” bidder, a type of bid used in cases involving bankrupt companies. As it stands, Merz is set to acquire the therapies for $185m, though this could increase if another bidder comes in at a higher price. The sale process is expected to end in June 2024.
