Item 3.01 | Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing. |
On March 21, 2016, Champions Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) received a notification letter from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) advising the Company of its failure to comply with the required minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to NASDAQ listing rule 5550(b)(1). The Company fell below the minimum requirement with reported stockholders’ equity of $2,259,000 in its Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended January 31, 2016.
NASDAQ stated in the letter that, pursuant to the NASDAQ listing rules, the Company has 45 calendar days to submit a plan to regain compliance. If the plan is accepted by NASDAQ, NASDAQ may grant the Company an extension of up to 180 calendar days from March 21, 2016 (or until September 19, 2016) to regain compliance. If the plan is not accepted by NASDAQ, the Company may appeal the decision to a NASDAQ Hearings Panel.
The Company is presently preparing a plan to regain the required minimum of $2,500,000 in stockholders’ equity and intends to submit the plan to NASDAQ by no later than the May 5, 2016 deadline.
While the Company intends to present a viable plan to regain compliance, there can be no assurance that NASDAQ will grant the Company’s request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or that the Company’s plans to comply with the required minimum of $2,500,000 in shareholders’ equity will be successful.
