Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, on July 1, 2022, VBI Vaccines Inc. (the “Company”) received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Department of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) indicating that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common shares for the 30 consecutive business day period between May 18, 2022 through June 30, 2022, the Company did not meet the minimum bid price of $1.00 per share required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”). The letter also indicated that the Company will be provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days, or until December 28, 2022 (the “Compliance Period”), in which to regain compliance pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A).

On December 29, 2022, the Company received a letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that the Company has been granted an additional 180-day period, or until June 26, 2023, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The new compliance period is an extension of the initial Compliance Period provided for in Nasdaq’s deficiency notice to the Company, dated July 1, 2022. Nasdaq’s determination was based on the Company meeting the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other applicable requirements for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary.

If compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement cannot be demonstrated by June 26, 2023, Nasdaq will provide written notification that the Company’s common shares could be delisted. In such event, Nasdaq rules permit the Company to appeal any delisting determination to a Nasdaq Hearings Panel. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Nasdaq listing rules or maintain its listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
