Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On September 5, 2019, Regulus Therapeutics Inc. (the Company) received a letter (the Notice) from The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) advising the Company that for 30 consecutive trading days preceding the date of the Notice, the bid price of the Companys common stock had closed below the $1.00 per share minimum required for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (the Minimum Bid Price Requirement).
The Notice has no effect on the listing of the Companys common stock at this time, and the Companys common stock continues to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol RGLS.
Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), if during the 180 calendar day period following the date of the Notice (the Compliance Period) the closing bid price of the Companys common stock is at or above $1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, the Company will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and its common stock will continue to be eligible for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market absent noncompliance with any other requirement for continued listing.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the Compliance Period, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(ii) if on the last day of the Compliance Period the Company is in compliance with the market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing as well as all other standards for initial listing of its common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market (other than the Minimum Bid Price Requirement), it will be afforded an additional 180 day compliance period (the Additional Compliance Period), unless the Company does not indicate its intent to cure the deficiency, or if it does not appear to Nasdaq that it is possible for the Company to cure the deficiency, in which case the Company will not be eligible for the Additional Compliance Period.
If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement by the end of the Compliance Period, or the Additional Compliance Period, if applicable, the Companys common stock will be subject to delisting.
The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and may, if appropriate, consider implementing available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
