Item 3.01.

Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing
Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On February 24, 2017, Cerecor Inc. (the Company) received a notice
from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff (the Staff) that the
Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)
(the “Rule”), as the closing bid price of the Company’s common
stock was below $1.00 for the last 30 consecutive business days. As
a result, the Company was notified by the Staff that a deficiency
exists. This notification has no immediate effect on the Companys
listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market or on the trading of the
Companys common stock, Class A warrants or Class B warrants (the
“Listed Securities”).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company
has a period of 180 calendar days, or until August 23, 2017, to
regain compliance with the Rule. To regain compliance, at any time
during the 180 calendar day-compliance period the closing bid price
of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 for a minimum
of ten consecutive business days. If the Company does not regain
compliance with the Rule during the compliance period, it will
receive written notification that its Listed Securities are subject
to delisting, at which time the Company may appeal any delisting
determination.
The Company is presently evaluating various courses of action to
regain compliance. There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to regain compliance with the Rule or will otherwise be in
compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
