| Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
As previously reported, Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(the “Company”) received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department
of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) on November 1, 2022 indicating that, based on the closing bid price
for the last 30 consecutive business days, the Company was not in compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued
listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the “Bid Price Rule”).
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company was provided a period of 180 calendar days, or until May 1,
2023 (the “Initial Compliance Date”), to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule.
The Company did not regain compliance with the
Bid Price Rule by the Initial Compliance Date. On May 2, 2023, Nasdaq notified the Company that it had granted the Company an
additional 180 calendar day period, or until October 30, 2023 (the “Extended Compliance Date”), to regain compliance
with the Bid Price Rule. Nasdaq’s determination was based on, among other things, (1) the Company meeting the continued listing
requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing requirements for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the
exception of the Bid Price Rule, and (2) the Company’s written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency by effecting
a reverse stock split, if necessary. On May 2, 2023, Nasdaq approved the Company’s transfer from The Nasdaq Global Market to
The Nasdaq Capital Market. This transfer will become effective at the opening of business on May 4, 2023. The Company’s common
stock will continue to trade under the symbol “ZYNE.” The Nasdaq Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates
in substantially the same manner as The Nasdaq Global Market, and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply
with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.
If, at any time before the Extended Compliance
Date, the closing bid price for the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business
days as required under the Bid Price Rule, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that it complies with the Bid Price
Rule.
If the Company does not regain compliance with
the Bid Price Rule by the Extended Compliance Date, Nasdaq will provide written notification to the Company that its common stock
will be delisted. At that time, the Company may appeal Nasdaq’s delisting determination to a Hearings Panel. The Company expects
that its common stock would remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market pending the Hearings Panel’s decision. There can be no assurance
that, if the Company does appeal a delisting determination to a Hearings Panel, that such appeal would be successful.
The Company intends to continue to monitor the
closing bid price of its common stock and will consider available options, including a reverse stock split, to regain compliance with
the Bid Price Rule. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with the Bid Price Rule or will
otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
