Item 3.01
|
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
On May 19, 2015, DARA BioSciences, Inc, (the “Company”) received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff has granted the company's request for an additional 180-day period in which to regain compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price per share requirement.
The NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Staff's determination to grant the additional 180 day compliance period 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 bid price requirement, and the Company's written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the additional 180-day compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
