Item 8.01. Other Events.

As previously disclosed, on August 19, 2019, Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (the “Company”) received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications staff of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1) (the “Rule”) as the Company’s stockholders’ equity, as reported on the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2019, was below $2.5 million, which is the minimum stockholders’ equity required for compliance with the Rule. The Company subsequently submitted a plan to NASDAQ explaining how the Company intends to regain compliance with the Rule.

On October 18, 2019, NASDAQ notified the Company that it had determined to grant the Company an extension until February 17, 2020 to regain compliance. Under the terms of the extension, the Company must on or before February 17, 2020 complete one or more of the initiatives outlined in the Company’s plan and evidence compliance with the Rule. If the Company fails to evidence compliance upon filing its periodic report for the year ending December 31, 2019 with the SEC and NASDAQ, the Company may be subject to delisting.

The extension notification with respect to the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement has no immediate effect on the Company’s listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Although the Company will use all reasonable efforts to achieve compliance with the Rule, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance and maintain its listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. If the Company does not regain compliance within the requisite time period, or if the Company fails to satisfy another NASDAQ requirement for continued listing, NASDAQ could provide notice that the Company’s securities will become subject to delisting.
