On July 10, 2017, Biostage, Inc.

The Company’s continued listing is subject to a number of conditions, with the Panel’s decision ultimately requiring that the Company evidence full compliance with all requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, including the $1.00 bid price and $2.5 million stockholders’ equity requirements, by no later than November 13, 2017.
