CYTRX CORPORATION (NASDAQ:CYTR) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy Listing Rule or Standard; transfer of Listing

On November 23, 2018, CytRx Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” “CytRx,” or the “Company”) received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the closing bid for our common stock had been below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and that we are therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on the The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The notice indicates that we will have 180 calendar days, or until May 22, 2019, to regain compliance with this requirement.

We can regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid listing requirement if the closing bid price of our common stock is at least $1.00 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days during the 180-day compliance period. If we do not regain compliance during the initial compliance period, we may be eligible for additional time to regain compliance. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of our publicly held shares and all other Nasdaq initial listing standards, except the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice to Nasdaq of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period. If we meet these requirements, we expect that Nasdaq will grant us an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. If it appears to Nasdaq that we will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if we are otherwise not eligible, we expect that Nasdaq will notify us that our common stock will be subject to delisting.
