Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

 

On May 4, 2020, Karen Zaderej resigned from the board of directors (the “Board”) of Viveve Medical, Inc. (“Viveve”), Audit Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee"), Compensation Committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”), and the Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board (“Nominating Committee”).

 

Ms. Zaderej was an independent director of Viveve, and as a result of her resignation, Viveve no longer complies with Nasdaq’s majority independent board requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) because a majority of the Board is not comprised of independent directors, and Nasdaq's audit committee requirements as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) because the Audit Committee is not comprised of at least three independent directors.

 

On May 4, 2020, in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, Viveve notified Nasdaq of Ms. Zaderej's resignation and the resulting non-compliance. On May 6, 2020, Viveve received a notice from Nasdaq acknowledging the fact that Viveve does not meet the requirements of such rules.

 

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5605(b)(1)(A) and 5605(c)(4) and the Nasdaq notice, to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, Viveve has until the earlier of its next annual stockholders meeting or May 4, 2021; or if the next annual stockholders meeting is held before November 2, 2020, then Viveve must evidence compliance no later than November 2, 2020. Viveve shall have until November 2, 2020 to regain compliance as it expects to have its annual stockholders meeting before such date.

 

The Board intends to identify a candidate to replace Ms. Zaderej and to appoint a new director who satisfies the requirements of the Nasdaq Listing Rules prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period.

 

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

As described above in Item 3.01, on May 4, 2020, Karen Zaderej resigned from the Board and its Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Her resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matters relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices.
