Item 3.01
|
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
|
On January 30, 2018, Stellar Biotechnologies, Inc. (the Company)
received a letter from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (Nasdaq) notifying the Company that, based on the Company’s closing bid
price for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company is not in compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00
per share for continued listing , as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).
The Nasdaq notification has no immediate impact on the listing
of the Company’s common shares, which will continue to trade at this time on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SBOT”.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company
has an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until July 30, 2018, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement
for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. In order to regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s
common shares must be at least $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during the 180-day grace period. In the
event the Company does not regain compliance by July 30, 2018, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace
period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards
for the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price requirement, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of
its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse share split, if necessary.
The Company intends to actively monitor the bid price for its
common shares and will consider available options to resolve the deficiency and regain compliance with the Nasdaq minimum bid price
requirement.
