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

On September 6, 2023, BioCardia, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Market Value of Listed Securities, as defined by Nasdaq (“MVLS”), had been below the $35 million minimum requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) (the “MVLS Requirement”).

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company has been provided an initial period of 180 calendar days, or until March 4, 2024, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. The Notice states that the Nasdaq staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with Rule 5550(b)(2) if, at any time before March 4, 2024, the Company’s MVLS closes at $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock.

If compliance is not achieved by March 4, 2024, the Company expects that Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its securities are subject to delisting. The Company intends to actively monitor its MVLS and consider its available options to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement, which may include applying for an extension of the compliance period beyond March 4, 2024. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance periods, including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. The Company would then be entitled to appeal that determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. There can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement during the 180-day compliance period ending March 4, 2024, secure an extension of the compliance period beyond March 4, 2024 or maintain compliance with any other Nasdaq listing requirements.

The risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the Company’s current expectations are more fully described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2023, as amended, any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and its other reports, each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
