Item 3.01.
Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On January 24, 2023, Context Therapeutics Inc. (the “Company”) received written notice (the “Notification Letter”) from The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Price Rule”) because the Company’s common stock failed to maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Notification Letter has no immediate effect on the Nasdaq listing or trading of the Company’s common stock.
The Notification Letter provides an initial 180 calendar day period, or until July 24, 2023, in which to regain compliance, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A). If at any time before that date the bid price of the Company’s common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has achieved compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule. If the Company does not regain compliance by July 24, 2023, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180-day grace period.
The Company intends to actively monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance, or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
