 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FORM <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">6-K</FONT> REPORT
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As previously disclosed, on November&nbsp;20, 2023, Kazia Therapeutics Limited (the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;) received a deficiency
notification from the Listing Qualifications Staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (&#147;<U>Nasdaq</U>&#148;), notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)
(the &#147;<U>Minimum Bid Price Requirement</U>&#148;). The Company was provided 180 calendar days, or until May&nbsp;20, 2024, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On May&nbsp;22, 2024, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, while the Company has not regained compliance with
the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, Nasdaq has determined that the Company is eligible for an additional 180 calendar day period, or until November&nbsp;18, 2024 (the &#147;<U>Second Compliance Period</U>&#148;), to regain compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement. If at any time during the Second Compliance Period the closing bid price of the Company&#146;s security is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will provide written confirmation of
compliance. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Nasdaq&#146;s determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly
held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the Company&#146;s written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency
during the Second Compliance Period and, if necessary, by effecting a ratio change of the American Depositary Shares (the &#147;ADSs&#148;), each representing ten ordinary shares of the Company, to its ordinary shares. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The deficiency notification has no immediate impact on the Company&#146;s operations or listing. The Company&#146;s securities will continue
to trade as normal on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker &#147;KZIA.&#148; The Company will continue to actively monitor the closing bid price of its ADSs and intends to consider all available options to resolve the deficiency and regain
compliance within the Second Compliance Period provided and may, if necessary, implement a ratio change of the ADSs to its ordinary shares, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. There can be no assurance that the Company will
regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement during the Second Compliance Period. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If the Company does not regain compliance
within the Second Compliance Period, Nasdaq staff will provide notice that the Company&#146;s securities will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the
&#147;<U>Panel</U>&#148;). There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal any delisting determination by the Panel, such appeal would be successful. </P>
