Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).

On June 4, 2018, Immune Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice from the Staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the Company’s continued non-compliance with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”) as of May 30, 2018, and notwithstanding the Company’s compliance with the quantitative criteria necessary to obtain a second 180-day period within which to evidence compliance with the Rule, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s securities from Nasdaq unless the Company timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

The Company intends to timely request a hearing before the Panel, at which hearing the Company will request an extension within which to evidence compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, including compliance with the Rule. The Company’s request for a hearing will stay any suspension or delisting action by the Staff at least pending the ultimate outcome of the hearing. The Company intends to take definitive steps in an effort to evidence compliance with the Rule; however, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing or that the Company will be able to evidence compliance with the Rule within any extension period that may be granted by the Panel.

The Staff’s determination follows the Company’s prior disclosure regarding its receipt of written notice from the Staff indicating that, because the Company’s bid price had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share threshold for the 30-business day period ended November 30, 2017, and in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company had been provided a 180-day grace period, through May 30, 2018, to evidence compliance with the Rule. The Staff’s prior correspondence further indicated that the Company may be eligible for a second 180-day grace period so long as the Company satisfied the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other requirements for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, upon the expiration of the first grace period and the Company provided written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, including if necessary, by effecting a reverse stock split. The Company satisfied the quantitative requirements to obtain a second 180-day grace period and submitted the requisite notice to the Staff; however, the Staff determined to deny the Company’s request for a second grace period based upon the Company’s history of non-compliance with the Rule.

On June 8, 2018, the Company issued a press release discussing the above-referenced items. The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
