Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On November 10, 2015, Harvard Apparatus Regenerative Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that on November 4, 2015 it received a written notification (the “Notice Letter”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company is not in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the Company’s closing bid price for its common stock was below the $1.00 per share requirement for the last 30 consecutive business days. This notice has no immediate effect on the Company’s Nasdaq listing or the trading of its common stock. The full text of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The Notice Letter states that the Company will have 180 calendar days, until May 2, 2016 (the “Initial Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company can regain compliance if the closing bid price of its common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.
If the Company does not achieve compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by the end of the Initial Compliance Period, it may be granted a second 180 day compliance period, as long as (a) on the last day of the Initial Compliance Period the Company is in compliance with the market value requirement for continued listing as well as all other listing standards, except for the minimum bid price requirement, and (b) the Company provides written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.
If the Company were not to regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by NASDAQ, NASDAQ would then provide notice that the Company’s common stock would be subject to delisting. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock between now and May 2, 2016 and will consider available options to resolve the Company’s noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement as may be necessary.
