INVIVO THERAPEUTICS HOLDINGS CORP. (NASDAQ:NVIV) 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 a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May11, 2018, InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) received a written notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, based on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form10‑Q for the quarter ended March31, 2018, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was $8,323,000, and therefore, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule5450(b)(1)(A), which requires a $10,000,000 minimum stockholders’ equity standard.

In accordance with such notice, the Company has been requested to provide to Nasdaq, on or before June25, 2018, its specific plan to regain compliance with all Nasdaq Global Market listing requirements and the Company’s time frame to complete its plan. If the plan is accepted, Nasdaq may grant an extension of up to 180 calendar days, or until November7, 2018, for the Company to regain compliance. If Nasdaq determines that such plan is not sufficient, it will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s determination to a hearings panel (the “Panel”). The Company expects that its stock would remain listed pending the Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal Nasdaq’s determination to the Panel, that such appeal would be successful. Alternatively, the Company may be eligible to transfer the listing of its common stock to the Nasdaq Capital Market if it satisfies the Nasdaq Capital Market’s continued listing requirements.
