Item 3.01. Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy
a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
As previously reported, on January 21, 2016, Threshold Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. (the “Company”) received a notice from the from the staff (the “Staff”) of The NASDAQ Stock Market
LLC (“Nasdaq”) that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s common
stock was below the $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Capital Market under Nasdaq
Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Bid Price Rule”). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had
180 calendar days, or until July 19, 2016, to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.. The Company subsequently requested an
additional 180 calendar day compliance period to address the bid price deficiency through January 17, 2017.
On July 20, 2016, the Staff granted the Company’s request
for an extension to comply with the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement through January 17, 2017, by which date the Company
must evidence compliance for at least ten consecutive business days. If compliance cannot be demonstrated by January 17, 2017,
the Staff will provide written notification that the Company’s securities will be delisted. In the event of such a notification,
the Company may appeal the Staff’s determination to delist its securities, but there can be no assurance the Staff would
grant the Company’s request for continued listing. If the Company has not regained compliance in sufficient time, the Company’s
Board of Directors may implement a reverse stock split to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. The Company
is monitoring the bid price of its common stock and will consider options available to it to potentially achieve compliance before
January 17, 2017.
Except for the factual statements made herein, information contained
in this report consists of forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Words such as “will,” “would,”
“may,” “intends,” “potential,” and similar expressions, or the use of future tense, identify
forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements
are not guarantees of performance and actual actions or events could differ materially from those contained in such statements.
For example, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule during any compliance period
or in the future, or otherwise meet Nasdaq compliance standards, that the Company will be eligible for a second compliance period,
or that Nasdaq will grant the Company any relief from delisting as necessary or that the Company can ultimately meet applicable
Nasdaq requirements for any such relief. The forward-looking statements contained in this report speak only as of the date of this
report and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect changes in information,
events or circumstances after the date of this report, unless required by law.
