Item 3.01

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

As previously disclosed in that Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Tivic Health Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 28, 2023, the Company received a notification letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as of July 21, 2023, the Company’s common stock had a closing bid price of $0.10 or less for ten consecutive trading days and that, consistent with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iii), the Staff had determined to delist the Company’s common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market. On July 27, 2023, the Company submitted a request for a hearing before a Nasdaq Hearings Panel to appeal the Staff’s delisting determination, which was granted and the hearing (the “Hearing”) was scheduled to occur on September 21, 2023.

As further disclosed in that Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company with the Commission on August 22, 2023, the Company effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split on August 21, 2023 (the “Reverse Split”) in order to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5550(a)(2). Since the effective date of the Reverse Split, and through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock has been above $1.00.

On September 15, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that the Company’s bid price deficiency has been cured and that the Company is in compliance with all applicable listing standards. As a result, Nasdaq has cancelled the Hearing, reversed its delisting determination and confirmed that the Company’s common stock will continue to be listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TIVC.”
