Item 3.01.

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

On August 6, 2019, Aevi Genomic Medicine, Inc. (the “Company”), received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that it had not regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement and that it is not eligible for a second 180-day grace period to regain compliance because the Company does not comply with the $10,000,000 stockholders’ equity initial listing requirement or equivalent standards for The Nasdaq Global Market.

The Company will be appealing the determination to a Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5800 Series. Such hearing request will stay the suspension of the Company’s common stock pending the Panel’s decision, during which time the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed on Nasdaq and trade under the symbol “GNMX”. Should the Company regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement prior to the hearing it will request the hearing be cancelled and that a written determination of compliance be provided to the Company.

The Company is diligently working to evidence compliance with all applicable requirements for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market and intends to submit a plan to that effect to the Panel as part of the hearing process; however, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company’s request for continued listing on Nasdaq or that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the applicable listing criteria within the period of time that may be granted by the Panel.
