Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On June 28, 2017, Oncobiologics, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notification from the Nasdaq indicating that as of June 28, 2017, the Company did not meet the $50,000,000 minimum market value of listed securities required to maintain continued listing as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “Rule”), and that as of June 28, 2017, the Company did not meet the alternative continued listing standards based on minimum stockholders’ equity or total assets/total revenue. The notification has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.
Under Nasdaq Rules, the Company will have 180 calendar days from the date of the notification to regain compliance by meeting the continued listing requirement, namely the market value of listed securities closes at $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If the Company is unable to regain compliance during the 180-day period, and the Company receives a delisting determination from Nasdaq, the Company may, at that time, request a hearing to remain on the Nasdaq Global Market, which request will ordinarily suspend such delisting determination until a decision by Nasdaq subsequent to the hearing.
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in regaining compliance with the continued listing requirements and maintaining its listing of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market.
