As previously reported, on February2, 2017, RXi Pharmaceuticals Corporation (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notification Letter”) from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it was not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, because the bid price of the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share for the 30 consecutive business days prior to the date of the Notification Letter. In accordance with Nasdaq listing rules, the Company was afforded 180 calendar days, or until August1, 2017, to regain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

The Company was unable to regain compliance with the bid price requirement by August1, 2017. to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii), on August2, 2017, Nasdaq granted the Company an additional 180 calendar days, or until January29, 2018, to regain compliance with the bid price requirement. The Nasdaq determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

To regain compliance, the bid price of the Company’s common stock must have a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during the second 180-day compliance period. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options, including a reverse stock split, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under the Nasdaq listing rules.
