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

On April 18, 2017, Amedica Corporation (the Company),
received a written notice (the Notice) from the Listing
Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market
(NASDAQ) indicating that the Company is not in compliance
with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) because the Company has failed to
file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2016 (the Form 10-K).

Under the NASDAQ Listing Rules, the Company has sixty days to
submit a plan to NASDAQ as to how it plans to regain compliance
with NASDAQs continued listing requirements. If the Company is
still unable to file its Form 10-K by the end of that sixty day
period, then the Company intends to submit a compliance plan on
or prior to that date. If NASDAQ accepts the Companys plan,
NASDAQ can grant an exception of up to 180 calendar days from the
filings due date, or until September 27, 2017, to regain
compliance. The Company may regain compliance at any time during
this 180-day period upon filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission its Form 10-K, as well as all subsequent required
periodic financial reports that are due within that period. If
NASDAQ does not accept the Companys plan, the Company will have
the opportunity to appeal that decision to a NASDAQ Hearings
Panel.

The NASDAQ notification letter has no immediate effect on the
listing of the Companys common stock on the NASDAQ Capital
Market.
