On April 26, 2018, Oncobiologics, Inc. (the “Company”) received written notification from the Listings Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) 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) (the “Rule”), for the 30-business day period ended April 25, 2018. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, the Company was granted a grace period of 180 calendar days, through October 23, 2018, 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 October 23, 2018. The notice has no effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq at this time.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed on February 14, 2018 with the Securities and Exchange Commission, on February 13, 2018, the Company received formal notification from Nasdaq that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”) had determined to grant the Company’s request for the transfer of its listing from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to an extension through May 15, 2018 to evidence compliance with the then applicable requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, including the $35 million market value of listed securities requirement as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b).
