TERRAVIA HOLDINGS, INC. (NASDAQ:TVIA) Files An 8-K Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On August 2, 2017, TerraVia Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter (the “Delisting Notice”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) notifying the Company that NASDAQ has determined that the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), will be delisted from The Nasdaq Stock Market. NASDAQ notified the Company that it reached this determination after reviewing the Company’s announcement on August 2, 2017 that it had filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the U.S Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. The Common Stock currently trades under the ticker symbol “TVIA”.

As previously disclosed, on April 7, 2017, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “April Notice”) from NASDAQ indicating that the closing bid price of the Common Stock had been below $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days and therefore did not meet the minimum requirement of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) that is necessary to maintain continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market. In addition, on June 16, 2017, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “June Notice” and, together with the April Notice, the “Notices”) from NASDAQ indicating that the market value of the Company’s listed securities was below the minimum $50 million for 30 consecutive business days required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) to maintain continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Company was given 180 days from the date of the each of the Notices to regain compliance (October 4, 2017, in the case of the April Notice, and December 13, 2017, in the case of the June Notice). The Company continues to not be in compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rules 5450(a)(1) or 5450(b)(2)(A).

NASDAQ notified the Company in the Delisting Notice that, unless the Company requests an appeal of the delisting determination, trading of the Common Stock will be suspended at the opening of business on August 11, 2017, and NASDAQ will file a Form 25-NSE with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to remove the Common Stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company does not plan to appeal this determination, and it accordingly anticipates that trading of the Common Stock will be suspended on August 11, 2017, and that the Common Stock will subsequently be delisted and become tradable over-the-counter.

Effective July 28, 2017, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”) resigned as trustee under the Indenture, dated as of January 24, 2013, between TerraVia (f/k/a Solazyme, Inc.), as issuer, and Wells Fargo, as trustee (the “2018 Indenture” and the senior notes issued thereunder, the “2018 Notes”) and the Indenture, dated as of April 1, 2014, between TerraVia (f/k/a Solazyme, Inc.), as issuer, and Wells Fargo, as trustee (the “2019 Indenture” and the senior notes issued thereunder, the “2019 Notes”). The Company has appointed Wilmington Trust, N.A. as successor trustee under the 2018 Indenture, and has appointed GLAS Trust Company LLC as successor trustee under the 2019 Indenture. On July 28, 2017, the Company and Wells Fargo entered into a supplemental indenture to amend certain trustee eligibility requirements under the 2019 Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture”). This description of the Supplemental Indenture is qualified in its entirety by the terms of such supplemental indenture, a copy which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference in this Item 8.01.
