Odyssey Marine Exploration Reports Q1 2025 Results, Regains Nasdaq Compliance, and Announces New Capital Infusion

By: via Business Wire

Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. (NASDAQ: OMEX), an ocean exploration pioneer engaged in the discovery, development and extraction of critical minerals that provide solutions to global challenges, today announced its results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, highlighted by the successful resolution of its Nasdaq listing compliance and the continued financial support of its long-term investors.

“We are encouraged by the dedicated support of our long-term investors and the heightened focus by governments worldwide on ocean resource mineral exploration to secure critical mineral supplies,” said Mark Gordon, Chairman and CEO of Odyssey Marine Exploration. “Our team is advancing projects that address global challenges like food security and the energy transition. With a strengthened balance sheet, regained Nasdaq compliance, and growing market awareness, Odyssey is well-positioned to build long-term value for shareholders.”

On May 9, 2025, Odyssey received confirmation from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff that the company had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) by maintaining a closing bid price of $1.00 or higher for ten consecutive business days. As a result, the previously announced delisting matter has been closed, and Odyssey remains listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

In addition, Odyssey announced that its existing investors have invested more than $2 million into the Company since April 29, 2025, by exercising their option to purchase additional shares of common stock under the Company’s Securities Purchase Agreement (SPA) entered into in December 2024 or by exercising warrants to purchase common stock. The Company has agreed with its investors on a short extension of the deadline to purchase additional shares of common stock under the SPA and anticipates that certain investors will exercise that option.

The recent U.S. Administration’s Executive Order on Offshore Critical Minerals highlights the urgent need to strengthen domestic supply chains by responsibly advancing America’s offshore mineral resources. Odyssey’s proven track record in securing licenses, validating resources, and navigating complex regulatory processes uniquely positions the company to help meet this national priority. Although based in the U.S., Odyssey’s work extends globally with a diverse portfolio of projects already in development in multiple jurisdictions.

Condensed consolidated financial statements are included in Odyssey’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, which is available on the company’s website at www.OdysseyMarine.com as well as at www.sec.gov .
