Item 3.01                                           Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On July 9, 2015, Lpath, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), received a notice letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company no longer meets the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), Nasdaq will provide the Company with a period of 180 calendar days, or until January 5, 2016, in which to regain compliance.  In order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day period.  In the event that the Company does not regain compliance within this 180-day period, the Company may be eligible to seek an additional compliance period of 180 calendar days if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intent to cure the deficiency during this second compliance period, by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. However, if it appears to the Nasdaq Staff that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, Nasdaq will provide notice to the Company that its common stock will be subject to delisting.

The Notice does not result in the immediate delisting of the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market.  The Company will continue to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock over the 180-day period to see if its closing bid price may increase based on its future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any future announcements the Company may be able to issue regarding its drug development programs and plans.  The Company will also consider its available options to regain compliance, including effecting a reverse stock split, which would be subject to the prior approval of the Company’s stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement or maintain compliance with the other listing requirements necessary for Company to maintain the listing of its common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
