Item 3.01

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

As previously disclosed on its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 10, 2020, Advaxis, Inc. (“Advaxis”) received written notice from the staff (the “Staff”) of the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that Advaxis was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) because the closing bid price for Advaxis’ common stock had closed below $1.00 per share for the previous 30 consecutive business days (the “bid-price requirement”). On April 17, 2020, Advaxis received a letter (“New Notice”) from the Staff of the Nasdaq indicating that, due to extraordinary market conditions, Nasdaq has tolled the compliance period for the bid-price requirement through June 30, 2020 (the “tolling period”) and that on April 16, 2020 (the “Rule Change Date”), Nasdaq filed an immediately effective rule change with the SEC to implement the tolling period. The New Notice indicates that upon expiration of the tolling period and beginning on July 1, 2020, Advaxis will receive the balance of days remaining under its currently pending compliance period in effect at the Rule Change Date.

Accordingly, upon expiration of the tolling period and beginning on July 1, 2020, Advaxis will then have 172 calendar days from July 1, 2020, or until December 21, 2020, to regain compliance with the bid-price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of Advaxis’ common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days during either the tolling period or during the 172 calendar days following the tolling period, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 business day period pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(F).
