Item 3.01

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

 

On October 8, 2020, Outlook Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notification from the Listings Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) that the bid price for the Company’s common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”), for the 30-business day period ended October 7, 2020. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a grace period of 180 calendar days, through April 6, 2021, to evidence compliance with the Rule. In order to satisfy the Rule, the Company must evidence a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days (and generally not more than 20 business days) on or before April 6, 2021. The notice has no effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq at this time.

 

If the Company does not regain compliance with the Rule prior to the expiration of the 180-day compliance period, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii), if the Company meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, it will be afforded an additional 180-day compliance period, unless the Company does not indicate its intent to cure the deficiency, or if it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for the Company to cure the deficiency, in which case the Company will not be eligible for the additional compliance period.

 

If the Company is unable to regain compliance during the 180-day period (and the additional compliance period, if available), the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting.

 

The Company intends to actively monitor the minimum bid price of its common stock and may, as appropriate, consider available options to regain compliance with the Rule.
