Item 3.01Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

As previously reported, on October 28, 2022, Precipio, Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that the closing bid price for our common stock had been below $1.00 for the previous 30 consecutive business days, and that we were therefore not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued inclusion on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the "Bid Price Rule"). The notice indicated that we would have 180 calendar days, or until April 26, 2023, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.

 

On April 27, 2023, Nasdaq notified us that we are eligible for an extension to comply with the Bid Price Rule until October 23 2023, by which date we must evidence compliance for at least ten consecutive business days. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by October 23, 2023, Nasdaq will provide written notification that our common stock will be delisted. In the event of such a notification, we may appeal Nasdaq’s determination, but there can be no assurance Nasdaq would grant any such request for continued listing.

 

The Company is presently evaluating various courses of action to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance. This notification has no immediate effect on the Company’s listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or on the trading of the Company’s common stock.

 

The Company issued a press release on April 27, 2023 stating that it had received the letter from Nasdaq. A copy of the please release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
