(d)
On April 11, 2017, AVEO Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the
Company) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (the Nasdaq), approving the transfer of the listing of the Companys common stock from the Nasdaq Global Select Market to
the Nasdaq Capital Market. This transfer will be effective at the opening of business on April 13, 2017. The Nasdaq Capital Market operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Select Market, and listed companies must meet
certain financial requirements and comply with Nasdaqs corporate governance requirements. The Companys common stock will continue to trade under the symbol AVEO.
As previously reported on a Current Report on Form
8-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
October 14, 2016, on October 11, 2016 the Company received a deficiency letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq notifying the Company that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price for the Companys
common stock had closed below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Global Select Market pursuant to the Nasdaq Listing Rules (the Bid Price Rule). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule
5810(c)(3)(A) (the Compliance Period Rule), the Company was provided an initial period of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
Following the transfer of its listing, the Company has been granted an additional
180-day
period, or until
October 9, 2017 (the Compliance Date), to regain compliance with Bid Price Rule. If, at any time before the Compliance Date, the bid price for the Companys common stock closes at $1.00 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive
business days as required under the Compliance Period Rule, the Staff will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Bid Price Rule, unless the Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period pursuant to
Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(F).
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule by the Compliance Date, the Listing Qualifications
Department of Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock may be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staffs delisting determination to a Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel (Panel).
The Company expects that its stock would remain listed pending the Panels decision. There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal a delisting determination to the Panel, that such appeal would be successful. The Company has
provided written notice of its intention to cure the minimum bid price deficiency prior to the Compliance Date, including by carrying out a reverse stock split, if necessary.
