Item 8.01      Other Events

As previously reported, on June 13, 2017, Senomyx, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, because the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, the Company was afforded 180 calendar days, or until December 11, 2017, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1).

On November 29, 2017, the Company received written notice from Nasdaq notifying the Company that as the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock had been greater than $1.00 per share for the 10 consecutive business days (November 14, 2017 to November 28, 2017), the Company has regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) and that this matter was now closed.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company with respect to this matter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 of this Current Report and incorporated herein by reference.
