Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On December 17, 2018, CohBar, Inc. (the “ Company ”) received written notice from the NASDAQ Stock Market (“ NASDAQ ”) stating that the Company is not in compliance with the audit committee requirements for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market, as set forth in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605 (the “ Audit Committee Requirements ”), following the resignation of Philippe Calais from the Company’s Audit Committee on December 6, 2018, as previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 10, 2018. Dr. Calais’ resignation left the Company’s Audit Committee with only two independent members. The notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, and its common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “CWBR” at this time. In accordance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), the Company has a cure period to regain compliance with the Audit Committee Requirements ending on the later of (i) the earlier of the date of its next annual meeting of stockholders or December 9, 2019; or (ii) if the next annual stockholders meeting is held before June 5, 2019, then June 5, 2019.

 

The Company is currently searching for and evaluating candidates for appointment as an independent director to its Board of Directors and Audit Committee prior to the expiration of the cure period. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Audit Committee Requirements by the expiration of the cure period, NASDAQ will provide written notification to the Company that its securities will be subject to delisting.
