Senomyx,Inc.Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of ListingItem 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On June 13, 2017, Senomyx, Inc. received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5450(a)(1), as the minimum bid price of Senomyx’s common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The notification of noncompliance has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of Senomyx’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SNMX”.
The Company has 180 days, or until December 11, 2017, to achieve compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the minimum bid price of Senomyx’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during this 180-day grace period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule by December 11, 2017, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day compliance period if it elects to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, the Company would be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and would need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the bid price deficiency during the second compliance period. The Company’s failure to regain compliance during this period could result in delisting.
The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price of its common stock and will consider available options to regain compliance with the listing requirements, including such actions as a reverse stock split.
