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

 

As previously reported on September 2, 2016, and as anticipated, on September 13, 2016, XOMA Corporation (“XOMA”) received formal notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) that XOMA’s securities were subject to delisting, based upon its non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Rule”).

 

As disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 2, 2016, XOMA will request an appeal hearing before the NASDAQ Hearing Panel (the “Panel”), at which XOMA will present its plan to effect a reverse split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock in order to regain compliance with the Rule. This plan is further detailed in the definitive proxy statement filed by XOMA with the SEC on September 12, 2016. If necessary, XOMA will also request from the Panel an extension of time in which to evidence compliance with the Rule. While XOMA believes that this plan will be successful, there can be no guarantee.
