Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on February 20, 2019, ContraFect Corporation (the Company) received a letter from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) indicating that, for the last thirty consecutive business days, the bid price for the Companys common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the Bid Price Rule). The letter stated that the Company had 180 calendar days, or until August 19, 2019, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by maintaining a closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.
The Company was unable to gain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by August 19, 2019 and requested an additional 180 calendar day period to do so. On August 20, 2019 Nasdaq notified the Company that it was eligible for such an additional 180 day grace period, or until February 17, 2020 to regain compliance. Nasdaqs determination was based on the Company having met the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Bid Price Rule, and on the Companys written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by February 17, 2020, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Companys securities will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaqs determination to a Hearings Panel (Panel). If the Company appeals, the Panel will request a plan to regain compliance. Panels have generally viewed a reverse stock split as the only definitive plan to resolve a bid price deficiency. There can be no assurance that such an appeal would be successful.
Forward-Looking Statements
This current report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as projects, may, will, could, would, should, believes, expects, anticipates, estimates, intends, plans, potential, promise or similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements in this current report include, without limitation, statements regarding the Companys intent to monitor the bid price of its common stock and consider available options, including a reverse stock split; and the Companys ability to successfully appeal a delisting notification. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical facts, nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based on the Companys current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of its business, future plans, strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ include, without limitation, there can be no assurance that the Company will meet the bid price requirement during any compliance period or otherwise in the future, otherwise meet Nasdaq compliance standards, or that Nasdaq will grant the Company any relief from delisting as necessary or whether the Company can agree to or ultimately meet applicable Nasdaq requirements for any such relief, and the important factors described under the caption Risk Factors in the Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on August 9, 2019 and its other filings with the SEC. Any forward-looking statement made by the Company in this current report is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by applicable law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
