Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On December 1, 2017, Immune Pharmaceuticals Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) notifying the Company that the Company’s common stock did not maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for the preceding 30 consecutive business days as required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock and the common stock will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “IMNP” at this time.

In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, or until June 2, 2018, to regain compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Compliance can be achieved automatically and without further action if the closing bid price of the Company’s stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days at any time during the 180-day compliance period, in which case NASDAQ will notify the Company of its compliance and the matter will be closed.

If, however, the Company does not achieve compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by June 2, 2018, the Company may be eligible for additional time to comply. In order to be eligible for such additional time, the Company will 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 Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and must notify NASDAQ in writing of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period.
